We use snack time as an opportunity for students to practice asking for what they want, making choices, using their AAC devices, and communicating words and phrases like \"more,\" \"all done,\" and \"help.\" For some of my students, communicating their wants and needs can be difficult, so having something they are excited about gives them a natural reason to practice.\r\n\r\nIt has been wonderful to see my students become more comfortable and confident using their communication skills during these everyday moments.
