200 A Day the Easy Way: Putting It Into Practice

Abstract

Abstract Recent research indicates that individuals who are nonverbal need to be presented a minimum of 200 opportunities a day to interact. In this project, we created 200 communication opportunities every day for students through training, modeling, and offering a data tracking system, resulting in more competent communicators. In this paper, we describe methods to offer students using augmentative communication more than 200 opportunities a day to express a wide range of communicative functions, such as answering, commenting, asking questions, stating opinions, and asserting independence.
