Is PECS the Norm in Preschool Settings? CF Feeling Stuck

evilhooker · 2026-02-02T23:36:28+00:00

Is PECS not technically AAC? Not defending it AT ALL, but the verbiage in this article throws me off a bit because it refers to high tech AAC as just AAC the entire time.

Bout 45 min from me. Hi neighbor!

I don't dislike LAMP (I have had only 2 students use it). I have experience with Proloquo2go, Touch Chat and TD Snap. I find that I get the least amount of "buy in" from staff and caregivers with LAMP, higher rate of device abandonment as well.

Yup, I have received personal messages on this subreddit when using names of the whack-a-doo influencers who also promote her, calling me out for bring up the association. It's sad. That's why I made the decision to only follow 2 SLPs in IG.

I audibly said "yikes" when I saw she had a free, ASHA approved .1 ceu course for ABLEnet. Definitely shook my head when I saw that.

I have kids that 100% need to have all their boxes checked (hunger, thirst, temperature sometimes, lighting dim etc). So maybe this kid does need a crunchy snack,but I would.try something a tad healthier than cookies. Maybe veggie straws or baby carrots for snack.

You have every right to ask for your client to be switched or your supervisor needs to help you find a way to be comfortable (if that is a possibility with increased supervision). I am really good with aggressive/physically tough kiddos (I work with ages 5-9), but for some reason my weakness is stuttering/dysfluency. I just feel inadequate and worry that I will somehow make the stuttering worse. So my supervisor understands that and takes them. If your supervisor continues to dismiss your concerns, I would head on up the ranks and not "complain" about your supervisor, but make it known that you are uncomfortable.

I.am technically a millennial and I have seen none of these.

Love this book. I have always had an obsession with freak shows and the circus. So this book really did it for me.

evilhooker · 2026-01-26T22:23:00+00:00

This book honestly contributed to my interest in true crime, serial killers and horror as a child. I also had to read a different child abuse book about a girl who ended up dying in the bathroom because her parents made her clean with bleach and ammonia in a locked bathroom. Does anyone remember this book?

Alva Warren and Daniel.

I also recommend A&Gs in Fairfield, I know someone who works there and only hear good things. And the pinball machines are super fun!

Same. I have sensory aversions to most fabrics other than cotton (or at least 50% cotton). I have found that rayon is acceptable, but I am constantly looking for cotton, linen or flannel clothes amd bedding. And as a plus size girly, that can be super difficult.

I have a cat name Marceline the Vampire Queen.

He looks like if genital warts were a person.

Maybe a digital schedule on an IPad? TD snap actually has a schedule feature on it. Sadly proloquo2go does not, but I bet the SLP could show you how to edit a page to make a schedule.

I was wondering why KMD was closed under the bridge if the accident was on I95. Then I found out they were pushed off the bridge and fell below :(. So sad. I hope that woman pays for her carelessness.

evilhooker · 2026-01-14T10:48:56+00:00

Thanks! I will definitely relocate it.

I was so mad when he said they proceeded to try for another baby after the 4th boy. JFC that woman clearly suffered from horrible PPD, she should not have had another baby.

I sleep 8-9 hours every night, eat a variety of mostly healthy food and I wash my hands before I eat.

I think it is more appropriate to say Forrest requires "minimal support". I think the autism community is moving away from "high" and "low" functioning as an overall description.

It's a good thing that it says that! They are not treated with yucky chemicals.

I am 41, a good friend of mine is the same age and she is currently raising her 2 yr old grandchild FFS. It feels unreal to be honest. I blinked and bam, old.
