Today, I learned about a new tool in therapy and AAC, speaking with guests Dr. David McNaughton and Dana Patenaude, who collaborated on the research article "Using Visual Scene Displays With Young Children: An Evidence-Based Practice Synthesis," published in the Journal of Special Education Technology.Visual Scene Displays (VSDs) are interactive visual representations, such as photos or images, that depict scenes, objects, or events. They allow users to engage with elements within the image, providing a more immersive and interactive communication experience. VSDs can be used with Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools, offering a more contextual and personalized way for users to communicate. This is not an either/or tool but a powerful resource that can be combined with other AAC methods.This study found that VSDs are an evidence-based practice. Their use can be personalized with meaningful photos, tailored to individual interests. Children can even participate in creating and selecting "hot spots," giving them real-time language engagement with the parts of the scene that interest them most. There are also ways to create video VSDs or VSDs that incorporate literacy.VSDs can be used for shared storybook reading, setting/environment photos, culturally responsive elements, and more! David and Dana do a great job of breaking down this comprehensive research and explaining how effective VSDs can be across various settings.

In this “Recast” episode of Talking with Tech, we share a remastered episode that was previously aired on the podcast. This episode, Chris Bugaj, Rachel Madel, and Lucas Stuber have a roundtable discussion about the key components of aided language stimulation, i.e. modeling. This means that the the communication partner uses the same communication system as the AAC user to model communication exchanges. Key ideas this week:

Auckland Women's Prison faces a major overhaul of the way it handles inmates after revelations by RNZ about the degrading and inhumane treatment of Mihi Bassett and other women at the prison. Corrections has also issued a rare apology to Bassett over her treatment which included being pepper sprayed in her cell multiple times having to lie on the ground to be fed and being held unlawfully in the prison pound for months. After Bassett's court case finished in Manukau today, Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis has told his department its treatment of women is unacceptable and he is demanding changes to the culture and practices at Auckland Women's Prison. RNZ In Depth investigative journalist Guyon Espiner broke the story last year, and was in court today when Corrections was again strongly rebuked by Manukau District judge David McNaughton.

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereWhile we both conduct AAC assessments as a core function of our jobs, we found this episode a little challenging to write. Why, you might ask? It was hard to know where to start. There are SO many skills that are encompassed in an effective AAC evaluator. How on earth would we distill all of that information into an hour? Turns out, we couldn't. After lots of research and discussion we dedicated it was best to explore the vast landscape of AAC evaluations through a series. In this episode, the first in our AAC evaluation series, we review some foundational knowledge required to conduct a thorough AAC evaluation, including the fundamental differences between typical speech and language evaluations and the necessary areas of competency. We review sound foundational literature and review a handful of resources where listeners and learn more.Join us, be our nerdy friends, and enjoy our tour of the landscape that is AAC assessments!

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereAs promised, here is our second episode on AAC Basics. If you have listened to any of our other episodes you already know that we are passionate about AAC Implementation. As we covered in our Implementation Plans episode, you could have the most appropriate set of AAC tools in the universe, but if they aren't implemented in a way that supports the needs of the client / student then they are at risk for being abandoned. Our goal for this episode was to try and unpack some realistic barriers to effective implementation.We begin this episode by providing a quick review / discussion of the different personnel roles in AAC based on a great article by Binger et al (2012). We discuss how each of these roles has unique barriers to effective AAC implementation. Finally, we review some strategies for how to overcome the barriers unique to each of these roles. Come join us, be our nerdy friends, and learn a little more about AAC Basics.Learning objectives:Identify barriers for successful implementation across different environmentsIdentify successful strategies across different environments and profilesReferencesBeukelman, D., Ball, L., & Fager, S.

Today’s episode is our first in an ongoing series about the pivot, that moment when you decide it’s time to start a business, and ultimately what leads to that final decision. We’ll periodically feature two entrepreneurs to hear about their businesses and what that moment was like when they decided to start it. This episode […] The post DO.ERS 010 The pivot to entrepreneurship with David McNaughton and Joella Gamon appeared first on The Candy Factory.
For my final interview from southern Scotland, it was a pleasure to meet David McNaughton, who was, until recently, Professor of Ethics and Philosophy of Religion at Florida State University. We begin our conversation by discussing the incongruities of celebrating Christmas in Florida and whether and how it might be deemed an inversion of what is natural and right. David grew up in Gateshead and reminisces about the primary school he went to in the Yorkshire Dales where every child from the ages of 5 through to 11 was taught in a single room by one teacher. He went to grammar school in Nottingham where he developed an interest in French poetry, Dante and Conrad. We discuss how the best way to get people to read a text is to ban it and why being in a darkened theatre amounts to total absorption, as when he was once completely immersed in the experience of watching the silent film ‘Napoleon’ (1927) over several hours. David, who came from a family of schoolteachers, explains how he ended up becoming a philosopher and reflects on how to this day he can remember what his lecturers said 50 years ago. We learn why Philosophy attracts a certain type of person and why, in his student days, there was a high dropout rate. We also discover who David’s biggest influences were. We learn about David’s formative educational experiences and David shares a number of anecdotes regarding how, when he first started lecturing, academics weren’t taught how to teach or required to publish and essays were graded without there being a designated marking criteria. David also talks about the wider cultural influences he was exposed to in Oxford and, in the final part of the interview, we learn whether there are any specific negative things about which it is not possible to be nostalgic (such as being humiliated or lonely) and, conversely, which hardships it is possible to be nostalgic about. We also discuss the analogy between Facebook and fruit machines and we learn about the concept of ‘retrospective enjoyment’ and whether David has any regrets about anything in his life to date. Please note: Opinions expressed are solely those of Chris Deacy and David McNaughton and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the University of Kent.
