Lesson Plan

Session 1 Lesson Plan

Students will learn to communicate one want or need during play by using visual cards, AAC supports, and modeled language to request items from peers or teachers.

Expressing wants and needs clearly reduces conflict, fosters positive peer interactions, and builds foundational communication skills for safer, happier play.
