From our website:
When you think about where a child spends most of his time, it seems rather obvious that home would be the single most important place for a child to communicate.
The home environment naturally fosters independent, spontaneous communication. Much of the time the child is self-directed, communicating with family members about things that they choose. This makes home the perfect place to experiment with using technology to assist communication!
Based on our experience with our son, here are some suggestions about using alternative communication methods at home.
1. Allow your child to play around with Gabby Tabs. Give the opportunity to get comfortable with how it works and what it does.
2. Make it fun. Use Gabby Tabs with your child’s favorite activities. The starter vocabulary is purposefully vague. Encourage your child to request things they love.
3. Show them how it’s done. Going to eat some pizza? Use Gabby Tabs yourself to show your child how it’s done.
4. Be patient. Probably the best thing about starting with a different communication method at home is that you can take your time. Some kids will pick up on it quickly and others will need longer to make the connection or see how useful that communication can be. Don’t give up!
