From Sara Kitchen: Yes! From Sara Kitchen: Yes, parents know so much! From Michelle Seymour: Student interest surveys - for students with communication From Chrissy Cowan: This is a nice slide! From Michelle Seymour: Sensory seeking? Gathering information? From Michelle Seymour: We have some students who are *very* passive. But observation and interviews and asking can elicit good information From Michelle Seymour: phones off or on silent From Michelle Seymour: Love imitating students! Especially mouth movements and facial expressions, sounds, and lip trills From Chrissy Cowan: So many environments are noisy (e.g., classroom). Would you try to have more of a controlled environment so the student is not reactive to noises? From Michelle Seymour: Any comment regarding passive assists for grasping (like "bunchers" and grip assists - often used with OT)?
