Make core vocabulary AAC practice a breeze with these task boxes/task cards/rotation activities. As an special SLP, I know that it can be a challenge to find ways to incorporate daily practice of core vocabulary words into your students' routine. Task boxes and task cards are a great way to do just that!   This set includes everything you need to get lots of fun repetitive practice the following core vocabulary words: up/down, open/close, same/different, make/it and who.   Up / Down: Sorting Task Bin- Students will sort scenes by whether they are going 'up' or 'down' based on the contents of the scene. For example, they will put the girl walking up the starts in 'up' and the man cutting a tree down in 'down'. Car Driving Task Bin- Supply some toy cars and students drive “Up” or “Down” to each pictured destination. 20 roads with destinations included. *You can also use the phrases “Go up” and “Go down” Open / Close: Clothespin Choice Task Cards- Students will match clothespins to the corresponding picture. For example, they will match the clothespin with the picture of a wrapped present to 'open it' and "close it" to the picture of an open unattended refrigerator door. Open / Close Activity Task Bin- For this task bin you’ll need to gather a few things from around your classroom/ office. We recommend you choose a variety of small, lidded containers. This is a dual task- first the student will say “open” as they go through and take the lid off of each container, revealing some small item inside (we like to use small birthday bag toys, or other goodies we can find at the dollar store). Secondly, they will say “close” as they go back through the containers, this time placing the items back inside and the lids back on. Open It: Unwrapping Presents- In this activity, students will take turns unwrapping and wrapping presents. presents. To “open” the presents, the student will say “Open it” and then proceed to remove the gift wrapping and find out what’s underneath! Make It: Make a Face Task Bin- Students use the phrase “make it” as they choose the face, eyes and mouth to complete each picture. Choice Making Task Cards- Choice Making Task Cards. Have your student look at the two pictures and decide which one they would choose to make. Same / Different: Which One Is different?- In this activity, students will look at three pictures and identify which one is different. For example, they may see three pictures of dogs but one dog may be wearing a collar while the other two are not. Find The Same- The student looks at a card and finds all of the items that are the “same.” These task boxes and task cards are a great way to ensure that your students are getting daily practice with their core vocabulary words. That’s 11 complete core vocabulary tasks- totaling 104 pages of communication practice! They are also great for working with paraprofessionals!

When you teach your students CORE vocabulary, you're giving them so much more than just a few words.  You're giving them the words they need to start a conversation, to comment to a friend, or to ask for something they want, or interject into a conversation. Simply put, you're giving them the words they need to communicate. Instead of teaching your student to say- "Apple...Apple...Apple" by handing them a laminated picture of an apple. They'll be able to say- "want more" or point and say "there" to indicate where their snack is. Core words are the words we all use to communicate with each other every day. Give your students the words they need to develop true language skills, don't hold them back to simply requesting items that are in their immediate vicinity. Are you ready for the best part? Teaching core words are... way easier than picture exchange systems! No more printing/ cutting/ laminating the same set of nouns, only to have them destroyed or lost in a few days. If you're teaching non-verbal students you can use a speech generating device or the low tech version- core boards (we've supplied you with a link if you don't already have one) and you just print and laminate, that's it, everything they need is just on one page, and no more moving pieces to lose, it's amazing! We hope you're ready to switch over, and Go CORE. This packet has everything you need to get started! This packet is HUGE!  It provides a plethora of resources to your students engaged and communicating. With CORE language the focus is on getting students to truly develop their language, by understanding the words and how they are used in conversation.Get started with focus word sets. This product has 19 focus words + a few our super popular CORE Adapted Fairytales to get you started with Core Vocabulary Guarantee  All of our products are classroom tested and therapy tested- we’ve used them ourselves and know that they are effective! AdaptEd is made up of a team (SLP, OT and SPED teacher / AT Specialist) so that we can offer you the best, and the most reliable resources possible.
