Communication isn't just about building words. It's about making an effort so that the student has that self-confidence to be a good communicator, so that we have that one-on-one partnership of communication.
When you're looking at setting goals for kids with complex communication needs, don't forget about setting goals that are about them interacting in the classroom. It's not just about punching buttons. It's not just about saying vocabulary words. It's about talking with people and showing who you are. Some specific goals that you can look at are in four areas. Educational goals, social goals, inclusion goals, and goals and independence.
