Music & Songs: Community Helpers
http://www.preschooleducation.com/shelper.shtml
Preschool in Education has more songs than you can believe. Lyrics about different themes are set to traditional tunes. This month our students are studying community helpers. They might sing about being a veterinarian to the tune of "Clementine" or a firefighter to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot." Look around this website to find ways to share other information with young learners.

CLASSROOM STRATEGY SERIES: Framing a Future
http://bridgeschool.org/outreach/classrm_strategies3.pdf
"One of the most demanding transitions in life is the 'seismic shift' that links adolescence to adulthood known as the 'coming of age transition.' If young people who rely on Augmentative/Alternative Communication (AAC) are to realize a high quality of life as adults, then there is a need for some careful upfront planning."
S. Blackstone, from CSS: Framing a Future
The latest issue of Classroom Strategy Series is now available for download. The booklet contains research and information about building self-determination skills for people who use AAC. It includes a tool that has been developed by experts in the field to address interests and satisfaction in 7 domains of life planning.
