we don't need evidence to teach

You don’t need to have proof to believe in people

respect and dignity

RESPECT and talking to them like other people

basically do your job, regardless of what you think the child is capable of

This video reminded me of the idea of the Growth Mindset; believing you can do something will help you reach that goal. If we take that same idea and believe in the people we work with/support is important.

and they will start believing in themselves :)

depends on the day

It depends on what category of life!

Depends on caffeine level

It depends on the day honestly.

depends on my emotions

somewhere in between

depends

I agree, both depending on the day or situation

For the most part I would say high, but I definitely need support from people in my life!

Depends on my anxiety level

High on some tasks and some times while low on other tasks and other times

medium functioning

HIGH FUNCTIONIING

I don't believe in those levels

labels only helps children receive services..doesn't determine the child's ability

Your example about non-speaking people being able to spell well...unfortunately I think this could be an example of defense mechanism. Unfortunately, often times they learn early on in life that people don't think they are capable, smart, ect. so the develop these skills so they can learn what is going on around them. It goes back to what we first talked about: they want to learn!

my son always says "unfortunately I see and hear everything "

That's heartbreaking, Julie

Jaco nonspeaker from South Africa says: STOKED TO SEE EV. PLEASE SAY HI TO HER

Welcome, Jaco!

yes ;0

Are slides available?

Thanks - love the list of items for additional exposure!

We have many different interests and so do our kids/clients/students/ect.

my kiddo does that

My son does that

Active listening is probably one of the most difficult thing talkers have to learn. We are so good at thinking about how we will respond, but if we are doing that while we talk we aren't truly listening.

Giving them time - I call it a pregnant pause....

That’s a great question Sahar.

I’ll answer that in a sec.

I am having a hard time in teaching moments because my son is always trying to get away. I have to shut us in a room to get him to spell with me... what strategies might help me to help him?

I always learn something every time I hear EV present. THANK YOU.

EV you are awesome!

Aww! You guys are so sweet!

Amazing!!!

I feel the exact same, been studying for 15 years and since July we have learned more meaningful things than all 15 years combined.

Need to hop off, but I am so thrilled that this is being shared far and wide. We just moved from 3 boards to 1 board last week. Thank you EV!!!

My nonspeaking son said his superpower is his hearing. He hears through walls!

especially because we hear with our ears.. not with our eyes or bodies

So TRUE Julie!

Sorry, I need to leave the webinar. I have a student for S2

The pocket trick works so,so well. Acknowledge first and then give a note. Putting it in the pocket is important so the speller does not get obsessed looking at the note and re-reading it.

Thank you! I have to leave now. This was great!

What happens is we bring our children to so called experts.... they literally read text books, learned the verbage, and are now an expert.... I always ask to do you have a nonspeaking child with Autism???

This has been a very eye opening experience. I'm so thankful for this as a mom of a non speaking 8 year old intelligent son.

That support group sounds awesome!

Yes! Amy!

I learned about S2C from part 1 of this webinar series, and my 16-year-old son had his first S2C session yesterday. I have never seen him so engaged and willing to work. I can't wait for next week's session.

Great webinar - Thank you!!

Holly! That’s so exciting!

Thank you for all you do!

Thank you NAA!!!
