Increasing MLU:  Help Students Enjoy Sentence Building With Speech or AAC

Today was a day of Story Creating using Story Creator App by Innovative Mobile Apps.  This is one of the best apps.  It also happens to be free.  This app lets you import a picture from your camera roll, type text to describe the picture and record yourself reading the text.  For therapy we use it to help our patients to be motivate to write (and speak) multiword phrases about their favorite topics.  So far this week we've made books about sweets, baseball, creepy characters, Disney (of course) and countries where we want to travel.  

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
  1. The therapist gathers a set of pictures for each student.  
  2. The student picks a favorite picture to place on each page.  
  3. The therapist, or student, types out her message. 
  4.  Therapists model the sentence touching symbols on the student's communication device.  
  5. The student then constructs his message on his communication device and record his phrases. 
  6. The therapist views the recording and matches each word with the recording so when the sentence is read, the exact spoken words are highlighted. 
  7. Email the completed storybook home to share with our family  


Super motivating and easy.  A great little activity which keep our students focused and talking!
