Focuses on wait time during interactions, encouraging partners to pause expectantly while supporting response and engagement. Provides practical examples across daily routines (dressing, snacks/mealtimes, bathroom, handwashing, clean-up, transitions), structured group activities (circle), and play (puzzles, Mr. Potato Head, trains/cars, dollhouse). Includes ideas for reading supports and video modeling to strengthen preference, direct commands, cessation, and selection.","CORE WORDS: No  \nFor Educators, Related Service Providers and Parents  \nWait Time: Last month we addressed Aided Language Stimulation, this month we take a look at wait time. Providing adequate ‘wait time’ is an important consideration for communication partners while interacting and engaging with persons who use AAC systems. Sometimes the need to ‘wait’ may seem uncomfortable at first but over time, practice and when given focused attention, the amount of wait time needed for each individual will become more natural. As communication partners we can wait expectantly for AAC users to respond and engage.  \nWAYS WE CAN USE THE WORD  \nCESSATION: (e.g. No more. )  \nDIRECT COMMAND: (e.g. No! No, stop!)  \nGIVE INFORMATION: (e.g. No, I like that. No, they play soccer. )  \nANSWER QUESTIONS: (e.g. No thank you! No, I don’t want that) . INDICATE PREFERENCE/ MAKE A SELECTION: No, I want that.  \nROUTINES AND SCHEDULES  \nDressing: Students may need help with dressing. Adults can model no to help the child indicate their preference of shoes/jacket/etc. as they help them or ask  \nwhat item the student wants to put on first. For example, the adult can hold up a sweater and indicate no you don’t want to wear a sweater during summer (e.g.“No sweater, it's hot”.  \nSnack/Mealtimes: Students can indicate to adults which foods or drinks they prefer by saying no to the food/drink that they don’t want. Adults ask the student “Do you want this?” while offering a specific food or drink. Students can respond “no” or “no thank you.”  \nCircle: Adults can create a structured activity where the opportunity to use the word no is high. For example, the group can sing the days of the week or the months of the year and the teacher can ask the group what day it is not (e.g. Is today Monday?” The students can reply “No” or “No it is not Monday”. The more repetition, the better. If this is a new concept, visual support for choices for a response is important. Adults can also model the target word ‘no’ when matching the days of the week on the board during circle time ([e.g. place](e.g. place)‘Tuesday’ in the Wednesday spot and wait for the child to indicate ‘no’ and point to the correct spot to put ‘Tuesday’ on the weekly schedule. )  \nBathroom: During bathroom time adults can use this as an opportunity to have the child indicate no if they don’t have to use the bathroom by answering the question “Do you want to go to the bathroom.”  \nWashing hands: When washing hands adults can model the target word during various steps of the washing routine including “no more water,” and “no more soap” to indicate the appropriate cessation of an event. Adults should  \nover-emphasize the word and use gestures to indicate that that part of the activity has finished. It may be helpful to attach visual supports for aided language modeling to the walls in the bathroom or near the sink so that hands can be free for any physical support needed.  \nClean-up/Transitions: Adults can model no more, while cleaning up toys and materials. This will help the child to understand that the word no can indicate a cessation of events.  \nAt the Park: Adults can provide the child with many different choices at the park that encourage the child to give a preference or to give a direct command.  \n(E.g. when pushing the child on the swing, the adult can ask “do you want me to push you slowly? Do you want me to push you fast?” and wait for the child to respond no to one of those questions.  \n“For on-the-go core language modeling and communication, adults or students can wear their core words on their wrists. Select the most important words for each student and use Boardmaker to create wristlets. A small piece of Velcro ora glued-on snap will work to attach the ends.”  \nPLAY  \nPuzzles-Adults model no as they place each puzzle piece into an incorrect spot so that the puzzle piece does not fit. The adult can then hold the puzzle piece of the incorrect place and wait for the child to indicate “no,”“no, not t","cbCainys8YGGKZ0I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainys8YGGKZ0I","pdf",173948,3,1,32,"English","en",105,"# Wait Time\n## Core Uses of “No”\n# Routines and Schedules\n## Dressing\n## Snack/Mealtimes\n## Circle\n## Bathroom\n## Washing Hands\n## Clean-up/Transitions\n## At the Park\n# Play\n## Puzzles\n## Mr. Potato Head\n## Trains/Cars\n## Dollhouse\n# Reading and Video Modeling","[{\"question\":\"Why is wait time important when supporting AAC users?\",\"answer\":\"Adequate wait time helps communication partners interact and engage while the AAC user responds.
