This week I was invited to a Girl Scout meeting. It's been many years since I attended one of these. The topic: technology. So, with speech generating devices and an iPad in hand, I did a show-n-tell with augmentative communication devices. Also shared video of some of my students using switch-adapted computers. As a result, this group is going to make some PowerPoint slide shows for my students to "read" using a switch. Topics like "A day in the life of my ferret" with photos and narration by the girls will make great stories for my students to read. By setting a PowerPoint show to advance each slide and play recorded narration with a mouse click and using a switch interface and switch, kids will be able to "turn" the pages and listen to these stories. Thanks, girls!
