This group is to share your most successful boardmaker lessons and ideas that you have found successful with autistic students. The students can range anywhere from high functioning to low functioning. The group can share effective behavior programs and good social stories that have helped eliminate some of the behavior problems of autistic students.

Join us to exchange ideas and materials for supporting student success in academic areas like math, science, social studies, reading and writing.

This group recognizes that an increasing number of schools are enabling their staff to access interactive, white boards such as Smart Board and Promethium Boards to provide dynamic, interactive, and effective instruction through whole class and individual activities. The goal of this group is to provide a specific place for those individuals to find functional and useful Boardmaker Software Family activities that either were made specifically for these interactive, white boards or have been modified from their original form to be used on these boards. Group will be actively moderated by an Implementation Training Specialist from DynaVox Mayer-Johnson. Active discussion and posting of activities that members have made or found useful for interactive, white boards is encouraged. Please write a short description of how activity was/is used. Thanks!

This group is for sharing adapted science experiments/labs for kids and adults with severe or multiple special needs. Please go beyond "read and respond", sorting and other paper only work and share hands-on (and switch on!) experiments and labs.

This group has been formed to allow participants in Region 4 Early Childhood Boardmaker workshops to upload and share activities they have created.

This group will feature cooking recipes with picture symbols. It is intended to bring students and children together with their teachers and parents through cooking. Feel free to add your own recipes or share some in the group already. Bon Appetit!

Virginia Alternative Assessment Program (VAAP) is designed to evaluate the performance of students with significant disabilities who are working on academic standards at a modified level. This group is a place for Virginia teachers to share activities that they have to work towards VAAP ASOLs.
