We all use acronyms way more than we’d probably like. There are acronyms everywhere; television stations, directions, and, of course, in our professional language. And sometimes we forget that not everyone knows the acronyms we use; especially in our clinical capacities. Even using SLP can confuse some people. Many call us Speech Therapists and have no idea of the full professional title. So, I am going to clear up some of the confusion around acronyms used in AAC. Let’s start with that one: AAC - Alternative - Augmentative Communication; those modes of communication that replace or supplement natural speech. PAS - Partner Assisted Scanning; a process by which the communication partner scans through the selections either auditorily (saying the words), visually (by pointing to the symbols) or both. The partner scans through the choices available on the (no/low-tech) AAC system, always in the same order, looking for an agreed-upon response from the individual to accept an option. Partners present the choices in the same sequential order every time. This strategy is usually used with an individual with significant motor or visual problems who has difficulty accessing an AAC system independently. ALgS - Aided Language Stimulation is also called Aided Input (AI) and refers to the process of modeling use of the AAC system to the user while speaking. AT - Assistive Technology; an umbrella term used to talk about assistive and adaptive devices or systems for individuals with disabilities. It includes any piece of equipment or software program or app that can be used to increase the functional abilities of students with disabilities. This umbrella includes AAC. CCN - Complex Communication Needs; used to refer to those AAC learners who have significant disabilities and needs beyond simply replacing their speech. These AAC users have a combination of physical, sensory, and other challenges that make communication difficulty CVI - Cortical Vision Impairment; refers to a brain based vision disorder SGD - Speech Generating Device; or VOCA (voice output communication assistant) Voice output can be either digital (recorded speech) or synthesized (computer-generated) speech. Those are my top 7 picks for confusing acronyms I hear in IEP meetings that leave some people shaking their heads. Do you have any others?

Confused that PGS and PGD is now PGT-A and PGT-M? Our Las Vegas fertility center explains this change and what these types of testing can do.
This month marks the one year anniversary of getting the autism diagnosis for our Beans (9yrs old), June marks it for Princess Sparkles (12yrs old). Having had a year to digest exactly what it means to now have a label and how it effects our every day life I thought I'd share a few of the things I've learned. Something that I've come to realize is that while they won't lead "typical" lives it doesn't mean that they lead "disabled" lives. They aren't their label, they aren't their diagnosis and I refuse to allow a diagnosis to define who they are. Hence the title of my new writing home. Having a diagnosis is a blessing, a HUGE blessing although it brought with it such resounding grief when it was given now a year later I see it more as an explanation and a purpose. We have an explanation now so we can help our kids conquer even more effectively than ever! As I tell them both OFTEN "Your autism is not an excuse, it's a reason. Your autism doesn't hold you back, it's the fire you need to move forward; fighting twice as hard." Meltdowns happen systems get overstimulated learning certain things comes harder understanding social cues feels impossible But I KNOW they can do it Not because of my sheer will but because my autistic children are BRILLIANT in their own amazing ways We navigate the meltdowns, we give input to the senses or shield input as needed we fight twice as hard to learn in creative ways we watch and practice and talk it through Because they CAN if we enable them. It is such a beautiful thing to think that once you have the diagnosis you can leave that "winter" behind. the time of not knowing, second guessing and frustration and suddenly a whole world opens up to you your child is explained and it's like spring is about to come anew! To all the parents out there struggling, those with newly diagnosed children educate yourselves, fight for your child and never ever hold them back because of a label Propel them forward in confidence because now you have a child who is Explained but not Defined!!!

Welcome! I've been trying to wrap up a big project over the past couple of days, but I finally had a chance to make a "just for fun" card tonight using my sweet friend Becca Feeken's JustRite Papercraft sets, Vintage Alphabet Soup Background stamp and Vintage Filigree Fancies. I also used three Spellbinders die template sets, Les Papillions, Labels Eight, and Decorative Labels Eight. Aren't these pretty? They are totally Becca. :-) The last thing I wanted to explain is how to have the decorative border show and the card base not peek out from underneath. I used a smaller sized Labels Eight die cut as my card base so that only the larger Decorative Labels Eight border would show. It's that simple! Edited to add: (If you need to see a picture, check THIS POST for a similar picture on how to leave that hinge at the top.) Tomorrow...

Why did Jefferson write 'Notes on the State of Virginia'? There are today two common theses. The first, the Alphabet-Soup Thesis, maintains that the book is more or less a loose collection of notes in answer to the 22 queries given by French diplomat François Barbé-Marbois. Jefferson's altering the arrangement of his answers to the questions is a matter of allowing for a smoother "narrative" for his answers, but other than that, one ought to be cautious not to read too much into his restructuring. The second, the Deconstructionist Thesis, is that meticulous deconstruction of the text reveals a latent thesis, which Jefferson, consciously or subconsciously, kept from his readers. Both views are problematic. The former cannot explain why Jefferson fell so deeply into the project, rearranged Marbois' questions so that the book would flow smoothly from nature to culture, and continually revise his often-lengthy answers, even after the Stockdale edition in 1787. The latter suffers from the fact that Jefferson tended never to write elliptically. "Thomas Jefferson's 'Notes on the State of Virginia': A Prolegomena" is an attempt to provide an alternative, "dialectical" reading to current interpretations of the book. The book, Holowchak asserts, is neither a simple omnium gatherum nor is its message accessible only through deconstruction. There is an obvious movement from nature (Gr., 'phusis') in the first seven queries to culture (Gr., 'nomos') in the remaining 16 queries, but that "movement" is not linear. Early naturalistic queries set up neatly Jefferson's discussion of the cultural aspects of Virginia, and Jefferson's explication of the cultural aspects of Virginia cannot be grasped without frequent returns to the naturalistic queries, hence its dialectic. Jefferson's aim overall, sums Holowchak, is the appropriation of what nature had given for humans' use-to perfect the social state by taming nature and putting it to use for human betterment. | Author: M.
