Do you want to teach your students how to think critically?
Answering Hypothetical Questions is an educational resource that provides teachers/ parents with a different approach to teaching hypothetical questions.
Rather than having the student identify the correct answer, this material focuses on providing and discussing multiple correct answers to hypothetical questions.
First, explore the options and talk about the different correct answers.
Then have your student select the answer that makes most sense for them! Includes 15 sets of hypothetical questions and possible correct answers. PDF | 8.2 MB | 35 pages
With this innovative approach, students will be able to learn more about themselves while also learning how others might think or feel in certain situations.
This unique method of teaching will allow your students to develop empathy skills they can use throughout their lives! Click "add to cart" if you're interested in downloading Answering Hypothetcal questions today!
Answering Hypothetical Questions
This product contains 15 sets of hypothetical questions and possible correct answers.
Each set of questions is accompanied by a discussion on the different correct answers.
The goal is to have students identify the best answer for them, rather than just identifying the correct answer.
These are great for studying or reviewing! They are also great for group discussions!
Hypothetical Questions Speech Therapy
I find myself writing IEP goals for hypothetical questions ALL the time.
But how we teach the skill is just as important!
Many times we get caught in the habit of teaching a single rote answer . . .
Question: What do you do if you feel sick?
Answer: “Go to the doctor.”
But do we all really go to the doctor when we are sick?
Or is that just ONE possibility?
After all, we want students thinking, not just memorizing answers!
Therefore, this material is a little different than your standard hypothetical questions deck.
Rather than having the student identify the correct answer, they will be asked what they would do if they were feeling sick and then given three options from which to choose one.
This way students can think about their own reasoning behind their decision rather than simply identifying an answer on a test or quiz without understanding why it was chosen over other possible responses.
Purchase this set today and give your students more opportunities for critical thinking skills development!
All pictures are real photographs in order to encourage generalization and independence.

Just 80 words make up about half of everyday English. This curriculum teaches the first ones that matter most.
AAC Core Word Builder: Set 1 is the first 20 weeks of a structured, year-long curriculum designed to teach foundational core vocabulary systematically — turning isolated words into real, generalized communication.
Created by Meg Mott, M.S., CCC-SLP, AdaptEd's resident AAC specialist and parent of an autistic son. Originally built for teletherapy in 2020 and refined across years of real classroom and clinic use, this curriculum is now trusted by SLPs, special educators, and AAC teams across the country.
Set 1 covers 17 high-frequency core words across 20 weeks — including extended two-week instruction for Go, Turn, and Not/Don't because high-utility words deserve deeper repetition.
What this curriculum gives you
20 weeks of ready-to-use AAC lessons — no prep beyond opening the file
A consistent weekly structure across all 20 lessons, so students know what to expect
Multi-modal activities that engage attention, body, and family — not just the screen
Generalization built in through parent handouts and homework that extend learning beyond the session
A clear progression from first words to functional communication across settings
Who this is for
SLPs looking for structured, evidence-aligned AAC instruction without spending Sunday nights building lessons from scratch
Special education teachers supporting students with complex communication needs who want a curriculum they can actually run
Teletherapy and hybrid clinicians who need engaging, screen-friendly materials that hold attention across digital sessions
AAC teams looking for shared lesson materials that align across providers, classrooms, and home
Parents wanting to extend AAC learning at home with structured guidance, not just generic suggestions
What's inside each weekly lesson
Each of the 20 weeks centers on one core word, taught through seven coordinated activities:
Introductory GameA low-pressure activity individually crafted for each lesson, designed to introduce the target word without performance pressure.
Animated E-BookReal photographs arranged into a unique book for each word — minimum 10 pages, with movement on every page to hold attention and reinforce the word in context.
Movement BreakA targeted movement activity tied to the target word — from a simple linked dance video to a custom movement game — that builds regulation into the lesson.
Additional ActivityAn extra engagement that may center on a song, a video, a book extension, or a guided drawing, giving you variation across the week.
Parent HandoutA take-home guide for every word, so families have direction for practicing core vocabulary at home and learning generalizes across settings.
HomeworkA simple homework activity, easily shared electronically — including a flexible "book report" format that works any week of the curriculum.
The 17 core words you'll teach in Set 1
These are the words that unlock the most communication for the least effort. Three of them — Go, Turn, and Not/Don't — get a second week of instruction because their utility justifies the deeper practice.
