communication

My focus child has some difficulties with communication. He is able to understand both non-verbal and verbal prompts. He has some verbal communication but he also uses a lot of sign language. The classroom teacher is working on him using both sign language with speech. So when he answers we get to him to sign it and also attempt to say it. For my communication strategy competency, I plan on using things throughout the classroom to prompt him. I plan on using choices, access and expanding. I would offer him choices which will require him to tell which thing he wants or wants to do. Since he can use 1-2 words I would use expanding to help him increase his sentences. Even though he is still working on his verbal communication he can say words and is able to clearly understanding what is being said to him. So I feel this will benefit him.
