some social scripts for AAC users on

these are somewhat American but the 
ideas can be used
(and you can always substitute 
biscuit for cookie in the very 
important and universal message 
-"I'd like a .........").

Playing command games with pupils 
using their AAC can be fun
Playing language/activity games - 
wheel of fortune/ Mastermind type thing
Role play - drama, shopping, 
interactions.
Pick of the Pops judging games 
-music (or anything)  is great/ OK/ 
rudbbish.

We are social animals and social 
interaction is fun and can be 
motivating, using AAC devices adds 
another layer of difficulty so it 
has to be made even more motivating.
