Communication is one of the areas of struggle for my students. They have difficulty telling someone their wants and needs {e.g., bathroom please). They also have trouble playing with others (e.g., sharing toys), commenting on what they see (e.g., red truck) or sharing basic information about themselves such as their name and where they live. These difficulties, however, can be overcome by the use of visual supports (e.g., pictures or drawing) that allow them to show another person what they are thinking and wanting to say. When the pictures or drawings are paired with a voice output system, the students are then able to communicate with another person in a more rapid fashion. I have a personal iPad that I use in the classroom. In it, I have an application that allows my students to communicate in the fashion mentioned above. I always pair the use of the device with my students trying to use their own voices. After all, the goal is to support their language with a device only until they are able to say many words and phrases independently to communicate with others. iPads are a great tool to use within the classroom when supporting kids with language difficulties.
