AAC ユーザーのためのスペイン語: 神経肯定的な初心者向け会話クラス

Welcome to a safe space where AAC users can make friends and learn Spanish in a way that works for you! In this engaging interactive class, students will participate in songs, this-or-that activities, matching activities, "I Spy," and more to learn a wide variety of basic Spanish vocabulary sets. 

It is important to note that this is not equivalent to or a replacement for speech therapy. Students should already be familiar with using their AAC devices (though specific proficiencies may vary). This is simply a space to learn new Spanish phrases and vocabulary using AAC devices, not to learn to use the device in general.

Instruction will feature AAC pathways/icons to not only teach your child to understand Spanish, but also to use his/her device to communicate. Language will be made comprehensible on my part through gestures and visuals.

Students will demonstrate comprehension through yes/no questions, either/or questions, pointing to vocabulary items and completing a matching game at the end of class. 

The class structure will follow the following routine:
- Welcome song
- Warm-up/Icebreaker Game
- Vocabulary review with AAC icons
- Vocabulary comprehension practice with game
- Conversation opportunity using new vocabulary
- Closing song

This class is perfect for absolute beginners or students who want a bit of a refresher. New and recycled vocabulary will be made comprehensible with visuals and gestures each week, so new students can feel free to jump in at any time.

Each month, we will explore a different theme to keep learners engaged. Themes will be updated monthly in this description. Suggestions are always welcome!

For September, we will be reviewing the basics as follows:
Week of September 2: El zoológico/The zoo
Week of September 9: La granja/The farm
Week of September 16: Las mascotas/The pets
Week of September 23: Todos los animales/All the animals
