All About Me Adapted Books — Quick Customizer Fills In Student Info (Printable + Digital)
A book that is all about them.
Morning work they actually want to do.
Their name. Their photo. Their mom, their bus, their teacher. Students pay attention to a book about themselves, so the personal information IEP goal gets practiced every morning instead of once a week. Each student works at the level they can do today: tracing, matching pieces, dragging on a screen, or typing it themselves. When they are ready, they move up.
And it no longer costs you an evening. Open the book you want, type the student's details into one form, and every page of that book fills in. About two minutes a book, instead of an hour of typing on every page.
What changes for you in the 2026 edition
Set up a new student over coffee, not over the weekend. Each book has one form. Fill it in and every page of that book fills in.
Stop inventing wrong answers. The adapted-pieces book makes look-alike choices for every cut-out piece for you.
Hand over the Chromebook and walk away. Digital pages lock, so students can only move the pieces.
Every student carries their information. A wallet ID card with their photo, for students who cannot yet say it themselves. A whole class from one form.
Already own it? The update is free. Open the new START HERE file from your order email.
Your students will:
Share their name, address, phone number, and school when someone asks, by speaking, writing, typing, or showing it
Practice the same information at the level they can do, and move up when they are ready

Take a book home that is about them, so families practice too

AAC Implementation Training Handbook Resource Toolkit (PDF)
The AAC Handbook and Toolkit is a great resource for educators who want to ensure the entire team (parents, teachers, support staff, etc.) has the knowledge and resources necessary for implementing and teaching AAC.
My love of AAC began years ago, when I worked with my first AAC client fresh out of school- an amazing girl with Cerebral Palsy who opened my eyes up to the world of AAC.
Along the way I've learned that many of us, no matter how great our intentions are, struggle to implement AAC in a way that works for students & their teams. My passion and goal is to make AAC implementation more straight-forward (and more enjoyable because AAC is so dang necessary)!
This AAC handbook gives you the information you need to get the whole team (teacher, SLP, professionals, paraprofessionals) on board with current AAC strategies.
This resources includes three sections as follows:
AAC Training Handbook
AAC Toolkit
the visuals and materials you need to embed AAC naturally throughout the day.
+ Video Instruction for each material to ensure the team knows how to implement each strategy effectively.
AAC Data Sheets
AAC Participation Plan
As a licensed SLP, I've had a lot of experience with AAC. I've witnessed, many times over, that AAC success hinges on one very important factor: consistency.
AAC users need and deserve consistent exposure to communication and modeling. To get this consistency, they need all important members of their life on board with their communication system.
It's no secret that many educational teams struggle with AAC consistency. Do I believe that this happens because teams don't care or put in the effort? No. I believe it happens because teams need more support.
A handbook can help people learn the basic skills that they need. (And that's why I wrote one!)
But I don't believe in stopping at a handbook.
I believe in supporting teachers and educational professionals in incorporating AAC into classrooms in a way that is simple, cohesive, and natural.
So, enter the AAC in the Toolkit.
This kit delivers a plethora of materials to get you started with ease.
Because your team doesn't just need AAC info dumped in your laps- - - You all need practical ways to help you implement what you've learned.
This resource also includes data sheets, classroom visuals, Google Slides access to edit the icons, core vocabulary boards, clear directions for modeling, AAC research citations, staff handouts, and so much more!
This packet does not include information about AAC assessment (which is really a separate training that is valuable to seek out). It is also important to note that this product may be used with any type of AAC. It will not give any device-specific information.
If you have any questions about this packet, please email me at krystie@adapted4specialed.com and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Spanish parent handbook is included.
