 Thanks, Ross. All right, so welcome to our what was supposed to be lunch and learn, but now which is because of my miscalculation of timing. And I'll, oh, Ross, can you send Toby the link, please? It's going to be my, I guess, basically a tour of some of the resources that I am aware of and that I have been going to in terms of core vocabulary. And also, I'm hoping that if any of you have some resources that I haven't been able to or that I haven't highlighted that we'll have some time at the end to do that. So off we go, there's lots to cover. So I'm going to try and move pretty quickly here. Come on, computer, there. All right, so a little bit of a review. I'm sure this is not new to folks online today, but I thought if we're going to talk about core vocabulary, we should just review a little bit about what we're saying. So in our everyday speaking, most of what we say is communicated with really a relatively few number of words. So about 200 depends on which research you go to and how many words are core, but it's consistently across the research that it's somewhere in the area of about 200 words makes up about 85% of what we say. And this core is vocabulary, is language, are words that we use across all kinds of different contexts and places and topics. So it's words that we use throughout the day in a variety of different ways. Again, a little bit, a small set of words that we are used frequently across contexts. And rather than in the past, and certainly I have done this myself, building communication displays that are primarily nouns, we are really trying to highlight various parts of speech. And as you'll see, the core vocabulary words that I will share with you today are really heavy in verbs and adjectives, adverbs. Words that can be, I almost would call them power words if I was going to use a different language, but I'm not going to do that because we want to get our language clear. So we're talking about various parts of speech. OK, come on. Sometimes it works. Some examples of core words, and we're going to go to all of these today, the Gail Van Tatenhove's Pixon Project. So really, I would say that the whole idea about core vocabulary began with the Minspeak language sets, which have now become Unity. And so you can see that they're very heavy in core vocabulary. Today, just about every product has a core vocabulary focus because in the world of AAC, it's become understood that this is a very strong way to organize our vocabularies and to introduce vocabularies. And then here at the bottom is the one from Project Core. All right, this is one that many people are probably familiar with because many of you have seen Karen Erickson's work. We've talked about it before. This is her 40 core words. And from the Dynamic Learning Maps website, as you'll see when we go to Project Core, Karen has reduced this a little bit. The way that she came up, or the way that they came up with these original 40, is to look at a whole bunch of different core vocabulary lists and find the ones that would be most valuable in educational settings. So these are a great set of words. But if you're thinking about core vocabulary for preschoolers or other contexts, you might want to start from this list, but not be absolutely married to it because, and actually, as we all see, they modified it a bit, based on some further research. This I'm borrowing from Toby Scott. Thank you, Toby, who borrowed it from Maureen Nevers, which is the idea of looking at how flexible the core vocabulary words is. So with one word, example here, the word different, you can use that word in all kinds of different contexts and all kinds of different ways. So instead, I want a different book. I'm commenting on a picture. Your picture is different. It's different from mine. Your drawing is different from mine. You can use it in math concepts. Ben's number is different from that. The difference is he's acting differently. So we can take that one word and have lots and lots and lots of opportunities to use it. Again, as Karen Erickson would say and as Linda Burkhart would say and Carol Muffwhite would say, there's Toby, hello Toby, that we need repetition. Kids need lots of chances to learn these things with variety. So they need it over and over and over again using core vocabulary gives us lots of chances to do this. Another example, again, thanks to Toby, using the word turn. It's one of my favorite words. And I have to say, I'm one of the core sets that I'm gonna show you. It doesn't have the word turn and it drives me bananas. So I would be adding that. So if we're thinking about using that one word across the day, turn the page, your turn, my turn, I wanna turn, oh, let's turn the channel. Let's turn it up, let's turn it down, let's turn it off, let's turn it on. We're gonna turn the corner when you're going to the gym. You turn the corner, I'm gonna turn away from you if you keep acting silly, I don't know, whatever. So you can see that there's lots and lots of ways and those are a couple of examples. I'm gonna, as always, start my tour of the core vocabulary with, to my mind, the site that is the one go to and I hope everybody knows it about Practical AAC. If you don't follow me and off we go to see Practical AAC, this is the wonderful Carol Zangari. And so when we go to the homepage, number one, you're gonna wanna see what she's got some wonderful posts always this week, but I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna just do a search for core vocabulary. And you can see the 316 searches. So she typically does things that are a year of resources for core vocabulary. So if we click on that post, we go back to it, which is from December, she's got all kinds of marvelous links here, some of which I will go to today, but not all. So you might want to bookmark this. Lovely ideas of how we can think about using the different words and highlighting the different words. So Practical AAC is a wonderful resource to make sure that you go to and Carol's got millions of things about core vocabulary here. So that was the one from November. She has another core vocabulary from September at the beginning of the year and you can go back to other past years as well. So I highly recommend that you explore that further. I'm not gonna go through all of those today because it's sort of a theoretically at least a lunch and learn session. I'm just going to point you at some of these things and walk you through so that hopefully when you go back you can remember, oh yeah, that's the place that I would want to go and look at that. Now the next one is the Project Core Site. And again, this is from the Center for Literacy and Disability Studies at Chapel Hill and I'm gonna actually put the link in there which is really silly. So I'm gonna go Project Core and I will send out this website or the website. I'll send out the PowerPoint to everyone as well we are recording this. So if you wanna go back to these sites you'll have them and I'll put this link in the PowerPoint. So Project Core is basically a research project. One of the ones from the Center for Literacy and Disability Studies. And what they are doing is taking from that initial universal core which Karen and Lori Geist who's also working on this talks about as these are the main core words that you need to have. And then they're trying to figure out what are the sort of the next targeted core vocabulary and what are the more specific vocabulary items that kids might need. But I'm gonna walk you through some of the stuff that they have here. So for example, they have for you to print out and anyone who's heard me speak at Lunch and Learns and also the session that I did for the vision folks on the tactile symbols has seen this site before but I'm gonna go through it one more time again. So they have, Karen has put here and her people the 36 Universal Core Communication Board. Now already you're gonna notice that we had talked about Karen Erickson having a 40 location core board or 40 core words based on her work in classrooms. They reduced the numbers being the ones that teachers really use made a couple of changes which I honestly don't remember right now and then left some, I guess real estate on the side so that people can put in other core words that they might want to use or alternatively put in markers to go to other pages that might be printed. So that's how that's changed a little bit. When you go down here, what you can see is they have put variety of different ways for you to access that 36 personal core. So the 36 uses looks just like that board there but I'm gonna go to the Adobe Personal Use High Contrast in Adobe. I'm sure that you guys all know and yeah from Lori is a print ready. So you can go there and get a high contrast core vocabulary board for kids that might have CVI or that might have other things available as well. Oh and Diane, I see that you've asked is it available on BoardMaker Online? You can download these core vocabulary links to BoardMaker version six or BoardMaker Studio and they will all upload into BoardMaker Online. I have done that myself because I was playing with it. So yes, the answer is that you can, you download the file and it's a BoardMaker file but you can import it into BoardMaker Online. So that's a really good question. Thank you for asking Diane. Yeah, you can do that for sure. Then what they have are a variety of other ways that the book, the 40 core might be organized for kids who have different either visual needs or access needs so that they need to have fewer symbols on a page. Now, this doesn't mean that you only give four symbols at a time. This just means that these are different organizations depending on how kids may need to navigate the access to those symbols. So again, you can download these. So these particular, if we go here again, I'm gonna stick with the high contrast, the Adobe one. And I'm gonna, what they've done is they've got all of the 36 words still, oh, it's slow, and they've created it in high contrast. So if I didn't have BoardMaker or another software program to help me make these, they've made them available. So their idea is to get people to have access to resources when they may not have the tools, all the tools that we typically think about having to make communication boards. A partner-assisted communication book. So when you're doing partner-assisted scanning, same thing, a poster for a classroom poster, which I think is marvelous. So it's 24 by 28, but they don't have that in high contrast, but you could blow up the other one, but this classroom poster is something that I know I've built a few of, and this is a real gift to have, but presented that way. And then they have some ideas for how you would actually make the poster. So you've got pull-offs, and I'll talk a little bit about that in a while. And then finally, the tactual symbols that I talked about with the tactual symbol workshop. You'll notice again, there's only 13 of the 36 universal core words there, but I know that they're working on creating a more robust set of the tactuals as well. I'll say at this time, we're also looking to do a follow-up webinar on the tactuals because I know lots of people are interested and people are asking regularly, so how do I do this? So we'll be talking about an implementation process more deeply for that. So that's sort of a little bit of an aside. So that's part of what's on Project Core. Other things on Project Core, and again, I'm gonna have to do this really quickly because we're, holy smokes, are some really wonderful professional development modules. So you can look at the core vocabulary universal solution, you can click on that. Not only does it take you to a video talking about it, it also gives you some handouts and that will guide you through the activities that they ask you to do. So it's really a scripted professional learning opportunity. Each one of these are. Don't have time to stick with all of these today, but I really do want you to recognize what, this is a really good one, Teaching and Modeling University, well, they're all good, but I really do want you to recognize the amazing resource that is being developed on Project Core very much. And every time I go here, there's something, predictable chart writing, emphasizing core vocabulary, all kinds of things that you can embed into your classroom and into your teaching across. So they're really trying to link what they had on the dynamic learning maps and really focus on how they use core vocabulary in a variety of ways. So bookmark the site or I'll certainly send you the PowerPoint, you'll have it. Okay, so that's Project Core, lots of resources there. Yeah, all right, so I'm going to go back out to the PowerPoint. The next place that I wanted to, and again, we have been here before, if you've been on these sites or on some of these Web and Learn opportunities last year, is the communication series that is on the Angelman syndrome, oh shoot, on the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. I'll have to do this. I'll check that link before I send out the PowerPoint. Angelman's syndrome site, or angelman.org in the States, has a communication training series that is mostly put together by Carolyn Musselwhite and Aaron Sheldon, but the other people are, I think Maureen is involved as well. So if I go to communication training series, the reason that I'm talking about this now is that they have some nice videos that talk about how, come on, come on, come on, come on. Oh, see, there we go, sorry. That was my link we're supposed to have taken in the first place. So they have some videos on ways to introduce core vocabulary. Now, this isn't to say that you're only gonna give those four words at one time. What they're doing in these webinars are talking about ways to use those words across the day in educational environments and talking with kids and modeling and teaching. So again, nice ideas. These are particularly, these core vocabulary webinars are particularly linked to the Karen Erikson's work, but you could take the ideas from this and use them with any kind of introduction of core vocabulary in a variety of different settings. So each one of these webinars is about an hour long. So there's tons of resources here too, but take a look at one or two and see what you think. All of this that I'm gonna share with you today, it's gonna be sort of a plethora of different resources. And I know sometimes it can be like, poof, too overwhelming. So all I'm hoping to do is let you know what they are today and that you can go back again, perhaps it's some of the things that you wanna look at, or alternatively, and I'll throw this out. If there's a site that you wanna have a guided tour of, we can do that as a lunch and learn as well. So if you wanna go deeper on any one of these sites. All right, so core vocabulary 101 in the communication series in the Angelman Foundation, Angelman Syndrome Foundation. All right, geez, I keep saying all right. I know that I'm gonna hate listening to this. The next place that I'd like to take us to is the Core Word classroom from AssistiveWare. Now they're gonna ask you when you first go there to sign up and get a login. So it's free, you don't have to pay anything to get in, but you do have to register and get a login. So what I'm showing you right now is myself logged in. Okay, and so they have, again, a variety of different resources. One of them being their core vocabulary board. Boards, which are for any of you who, any of you, where are they? Okay, so the letter size core vocabulary in English, Spanish, and guess what, French. So those of you who are in environments where French is the language that the kids are learning and using, they have French versions as well. So I'm going to go to the USUK front board. These are the boards that I actually took around this summer when we were doing the summer institutes. And so lots of you have seen this. And that's how I made those boards to go to the summer institutes. I downloaded this and then there's a backside to it and I sent them to a printer and got them laminated. So again, you can see that there's many more words here. And they have at the bottom on the, on the assistive wear site, the links to what would be fringe words or more expanding with categories. And I like this board a lot. I think there's some really good uses of the word are lots of good words here. Some words that are perhaps a little bit more powerful than the 36 that are on project core universals. But this board doesn't have turn, which I said drives me bananas. So I think what I would do is probably change the A or something, the off and put it into a turn word. Although it would have to be pink because that's the verb coding here. And Karen or the project core universal words does not have any color coding support. You'll see that this one does have color coding and we're gonna talk about the Fitzgerald keys color coding for just a minute, which is more standard. This one has sort of gone off. Usually verbs are green and these prepositions and adverbs and things would be are actually, adjectives are blue would be, is that right? I have to remember now. Can't remember what adjectives would be. But anyway, these would typically be orange. This has a different color coding system. I'm not sure why they chose to do it differently. The other thing that you'll notice about this core vocabulary set is that it's not in PCS or it's not made with BoardMaker. It's made with the symbol sticks because it comes from a system where ProLigo to Go company and they use symbol sticks in their system. So while you may choose to use this, I would be really cautious about not mixing up this core board with other core boards with kids that are using PCS symbols. But what I have done, and you'll see an example at the end of our hour together, is I've taken the words that are on this and used them to build a little bit more robust core vocabulary board in BoardMaker. So gives you some ideas. For those of you whose kids might be using ProLigo to Go, this is the perfect low tech core backup board because it's gonna be in the same simple set as those. So I'm hoping that this is, I know we're going fast to this. I'm hoping this is making sense to you. And if not, there's always, you can always put questions in the chat or send me questions afterwards. So there's other wonderful resources in the assistive where core vocabulary classroom. So they have core word planners. So you can go around and thinking about how are you gonna put, use core words and how are you gonna build them into your classroom routines? How are you gonna build them into Livestream Life Skills? So lots of ideas here that they've posted for you. So let's go into, I'm not gonna do morning circle. I'm not, morning circle is not my favorite thing. Let's go into sharing books, core word planner. And I will go to videos and they have a PDF. So there's lots of resources here. They take you through it, they talk about them. They give you a modeling guide, really, really good resources here for you to take a look at. And you can start, you know what I would say is play with it, start thinking about it. And then they also have a planner or sorry, a template so that you can go ahead and start thinking about how you're going to be intentional about focusing on core vocabulary, modeling core vocabulary and teaching core vocabulary across your particular classroom experience or what, and for parents across the day. Lots of wonderful resources here. I'll maybe take you to one more thing on this page before we move around. So strategies and resources. Again, most of these things have a, yeah. So a little bit, if we go here, they have some lovely examples of modeling and how to do modeling, some videos on modeling. Really, this is just becoming more and more robust every time I come back to look at it. So if you're, and the thing is, yes, if you're using the assistiveware core board and ProLigo, it works, but it doesn't matter because almost, well, every system, even thinking pod, the core vocabulary are in those sets. So these are just some really good ideas of hitting and modeling and using and talking with and talking about those words that are so important across so many contexts with our kids. Okay, so I'll walk you through a couple more. So there's lots and lots of really good resources here, and I know that they are adding things all the time. So there you go, you can say, if you've gone there, oh, so look at this, they've got a monopoly, snakes and ladders, yeah, wonderful resources and tools here that you can, or ideas. Even if you don't take their particular tool, you've got some wonderful ideas that you can start to build some of your own stuff with. We're about halfway through and we're about halfway there. Okay, so the next site that I want to take you to is not exactly a low tech system, although I was talking to Julie, heard here, I'm not sure how to say Julie's last name, the Toby Dynabox rep about this, and she says they're likely going to have boards available for, or they're working on boards for printout of the core. When I was, their core, which is the core first page set. So this is that, oops, sorry, this is a page set that goes with, or that can be loaded into the Toby Dynabox compass and I think communicator software. And again, focusing on the, you'll see across all of these core vocabulary sets, many of the words are overlapping because they're the power core words. At Isaac this summer, Toby Dynabox was handing out some beautiful paper core first displays. I have a couple of really large ones and a few smaller sort of eight and a half by 11 like the assistive ware pages. And I asked Julie if there was a place to get them and she says, no, not yet, but they're working on it. So I'm hoping that that will come soon. In the meantime, what you could do is just print off this page and, you know, laminate it and do the rest of what you're doing and you'd have a low tech backup if your student is working on the Toby Dynabox core first page set or to give them a, again, a low tech system to start focusing on core vocabulary. What you'll see here is this is very, they'd use the Fitzgerald keys and the order so they start with the order that words usually happen in and have colored them according to the more traditional AAC colors. So pronouns are yellow, verbs are green and adjectives and prepositions are orange. So I'm thinking I should have a, I'm hoping I'm getting all of those things right. I actually was trained in linguistics but man, if you don't talk about that it doesn't stick with your, in your head. Anyway, so let's talk about what they have here. They have resources, so little videos, recordings. Start this one for a little minute. I won't let the next few minutes, we're not gonna watch this, but I do want you to know again that they are talking about organizing or organizing around core vocabulary and they have some nice resources here on implementation on this site and so corporates, photo albums, profiles, all of these would be focusing on their software but again, some good ideas for how we can think about using and modeling core vocabulary from the Toby Dynavox version as well or Toby Dynavox site. Then next is the PicsOn project I'm gonna pause for a minute and have a drink cause I'm getting, my throat is getting dry and I'm gonna ask a question. Has anyone heard of the PicsOn project or has anyone used the PicsOn project kit? Toby, yep, anyone else? Okay, so this is new. So PicsOn, I guess the best way to do this is just to take you to the site. I'm gonna close this one off so we don't have 17 million things open at the same time. PicsOn is essentially a low tech version of MinSpeak and firstly, when they talk about the PicsOn project and they wanna sell you the kits here, so okay, that's good, you might want to get the kit. It tells some examples of the boards and different ideas for starting to basically teach MinSpeak using this low tech system. But, so that's good, but this site, I think you're gonna find more useful if you're in, number one, if you're in the MinSpeak world, yes, but also even to think about core vocabulary, no matter what kind of language that you are using. So they have here for you to download if you are so desirous, a 50 location core board as a board maker file or as a PDF file, and then this PicsOn wall chart for textbooks. I'm not gonna talk about that right now, but I'm thinking that maybe we'll do a lunch and learn on moving from packs to a more robust language system. And that would be one of the things that this is for. There's a more particular program that another Megan, can't remember her last name, SLP has developed around that and I'm gonna take you to that before we leave today. But, so again, you can get the 50 location PicsOn boards as a PDF and print them out much the way you could get them from Project Core. They have, again, really great, or a variety of teaching materials. So if you're thinking about doing some teaching around core vocabulary and PicsOn, here's an example of one of their... A dog for each. Sorry, it should be moving forward. There we go. Come on, come on, come on. Monday. Oh, and this is a little PowerPoint activity that you can actually do and you'll be teaching some of the words in the project. I won't take you to all of that. So again, lots of good resources here. Now the last one that I'm going to take you to around PicsOn and Minspeak is Gail Vantaitenhof, right? And it's those of you who haven't heard of or don't know Gail Vantaitenhof, she, I just think she's absolutely brilliant and she's the one that I think has done the most wonderful work in focusing on teaching core vocabulary. Gail was also intimately involved, if not the lead, I think probably, in the PicsOn project. So I have this core vocabulary classroom kit for $75 CD and it's well worth the $75 I think. Again, no matter whether you're using the Unity core vocabulary or any core vocabulary, because it gives you a bunch of different resources to go from and you can, once you think about core in one set, it's easy to think about core in another set. I'll maybe just let, this is just a short two minute. The last one is the line from the joli version. If you're supporting the students using any other vocabulary program, let's start by looking at what's in the core vocabulary classroom kit. It'll be the base of your board, lay it out so you get a sense of what it's gonna be like, trim all the edges, put it together, then you print out the top. Okay, I'm gonna stop it there and I'm gonna encourage you to, I hope that counterlides you a little bit. It's not a very long little video, But the other thing that I would highly recommend, if you want to get more ideas for core vocabulary, is to go to Gail Ventatinhove's website and her YouTube channel, because she's just got lovely, lovely examples of how she does this. It's my hope that we might get her to come at some point, although I know she doesn't travel very much anymore. So we'll have to see whether that's possible. But again, another really good site. And if you're interested in going deeper with this upon looking at some of Gail's work, she'll send you that CD. And it seems kind of archaic now to send the CD to you. And it doesn't take very long to get it. It's really a good resource. So OK. La, la, la. Where are we at? Time-wise. All right, we're doing OK. So I'm going to maybe come back to this. I'm going to go back. Because this kind of follows nicely on what Gail was talking about. This is something that I have been working on, which is taking kind of the project core, core board, and adding a few more words, some juicy words, and making some mistakes. Maybe put it on my Facebook page. If anyone can see what mistakes I made in making this, you can send me a little note, because there's a few, which really make me cranky, because this took a long time. But again, we can pull them off, put them back on, use them, highlight them, talk about them. And that idea came from Gail. But it also came from this other person. Megan, something or other, who has done an intentional movement from, oops, why is this not working properly? OK, excuse me. I'm going to copy and paste this. So she's had lots of kids who were using, as maybe many of you do, who were used to using a Pax-based system. And what she has done is build out, and it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's slow, slow, slow. What she calls, and it's trademarked, the core vocabulary exchange system. So this whole link will talk a lot about lots of different things. But what I wanted to just, and I, again, download this, look at it. It'll be in the link there. Really good resources on snug, a bunch of things beyond core. But, and I'm making you dizzy doing this. So this is essentially what she's started to do, which is to have the core board here in the middle, as you can see, and then the fringe vocabulary there, and in a Pax-like system. So kids who are used to building requests in their, for Pax, on a strip and handing it over or building things on a strip and exchanging it. Now, we can, now that we are thinking more about the focus on core vocabulary, we can start to do that in a giving, keeping them, keeping them with the familiar system that they might have been using, but now focusing more on the core vocabulary piece of that system rather than on strictly being, so, and having many more functions because of the language of the core vocabulary than just making requests. So I really think this is quite brilliant. It's something that she is going to probably be selling based on what I can see. And her, well, not only based on what I can see, based on what I know from going to her website. So if we go to the SLP, SL Pathways, which is Megan's site, our team, I'm gonna give her name there. Megan Brazos is the person that sort of is leading this. And what they have here, if any of you are interested in the core vocabulary exchange system, I don't know how much money it's gonna cost. I don't know, but they are in field testing of their products, which is great. I'm glad they're field testing their products. And it looks like they're gonna be available before two very long. So another way, another resource for us to think about how we can use core vocabulary and how to bring kids into a system that is more robust and that has the power of core vocabulary while honoring the learning that they've done in a PECS kind of system. And again, that's kind of what I was, Kathy's PECS core trial. That was kind of what I was trying to do here is helping a teacher who's, where the child had been using a PECS-ish kind of system. And she felt that this would be more familiar. So I built this out. And then this was some posts that I made while I was doing it. I want to do more. So we'd never start with a sentence that long, but I was suggesting to her when they're going through their day, if they're gonna go to the gym, you might say, pull off the strip and say, go. Or, and the word that I'm probably gonna put on there is we go or you go to the gym or if we want more of it, you could put more. And when he's talking about his lunch, more of it or more of the same or not saying want different. Couple, you can do lots of different things here. And number one, it focuses the child's attention on those words. And the second thing is it sort of mimics, I suppose, in a way what a communication device would do in a low-tech way. I am making more of these and I hope I'll get my language set better. So I'll promise to share. And I'm also gonna be tracking how it's working with this young man. The other thing that I think that this pull-off strip or pull-off vocabulary can do, especially for kids on the spectrum, is that you can take it off and sort of, if they're not looking at what you're modeling, you can take it off, put it in their eyes in their field of view and take it back. So it might be helpful. As I said, this is very much a trial. Megan's system will be much more of a robust system, but I think it's, I'm interested and intrigued by the idea of it. So all right, so there we went to a lot of resources on core vocabulary. Have I missed anyone? Time for you guys to, or is there any questions or anything that you want to chime in with? Mostly have I missed some things that you guys know about? I'm gonna pause for a minute to, my voice is getting sore. I see nothing in the chat. One just popped up in the chat, Kathy. I'm not sure if it was just to be or to be. Okay, I see, I might have missed it. How can we see? I might have missed it, I might have missed it. Okay, so here you guys, this is becoming for me the most important thing that we need to do, which is go back to the basics and talk about how do we make decisions around systems, around using a feature match system, our feature match process, using the set framework, using some kind of framework to guide our decisions around choosing. So based on your question, based on lots of the things that I'm hearing and seeing out in the world, I'm thinking that we need to do a session or two around that decision making, feature matching that to sort of some of the basic ideas of what we need to do with AAC as well as assistive technology. Does that sound, and that's way too big of a question for me to answer right now, Lillian, but if that's a topic that people would be interested in either myself or myself with other folks, I think it's needed in the world. So I don't know other people's thoughts around that. Do we need to do some focused work on feature matching AAC selection, those kinds of things? It seems to be that question. Yeah, lots of yeses popping up. Okay, yeah, all right. On the list, coming to something near you in the new year, that will be high on the list of things to add. And it's funny, I've been talking with a variety of people about that. So yeah, we'll make sure that that happens very soon. And it might be a series actually. So Toby, is your hand really up? Yeah, I was just gonna ask the same thing. Nope. That's a given, there you go. Not really up. Not really up. Okay, thank you. Anyone else have any other questions? I absolutely, we will talk about decision making and feature matching important. Because otherwise it's just a bunch of stuff, right? Just a bunch of stuff. I think the important thing for today's lesson, I hope today's lesson, oh my goodness, from this is that all the systems are moving to thinking about core vocabulary and that if you have nothing, think about giving kids access to a core vocabulary. The other thing is don't feel that you have to be totally locked exactly to any particular core vocabulary system. I still think part of it is saying what words really do we need in this context? So, but now that you've had access to lots of different ways to look at core vocabulary, perhaps that can help you in your decision making around which words you want to build on your own boards, et cetera. Okay, I see no more questions and I'm seeing more coming to the end. So, that's it for today and there's a plethora of resources out there. I hope this has been helpful and I hope that you'll go back and look at more and as I said, I'll make sure that this PowerPoint gets out to everybody and this session is being recorded so we will have it available. Can't exactly say when, sorry. We don't have a bunch of control over that but the fact that we have got it archived now will mean that we can make it available to you all. I don't want to end this. It's probably going to be after Christmas unfortunately just because of some of the shutdown stuff. Yeah, after Christmas I'm sure. So, and with that in mind, after Christmas, January is a big month. Oh, Toby, I didn't put this in. Sorry, I just talked to Toby about this before. So, we've got a bunch of things happening in January. I'll talk about the regular PLC. So, January 12th from four to five, Kelly Fauner will be doing what she was going to do today, environmental communication training part two. Now, no one has taken her up on the opportunity to work with her. So, she's going to change up part two a little bit, kind of review some of the things and give you again an opportunity to jump on with her if that's something that you have now thinking that you have the chance, opportunity, whatever to do. So, that will be, yeah, the Thursday. That probably for most people, the first Thursday back, you'll get a web link and this will be sent out. Then to remind you that January 19th, Jennifer Kent Walsh is going to talk about her research and communication partners. I'll be sending out a article in the new year, sort of a meta analysis that Jennifer was involved in. And I know some people not mentioning any names, Toby have particularly asked me for that article, but I'm going to send it out to everybody to give you a little bit of pre-reading before Jennifer's session. It is, that will not be recorded. The January 19th, Jennifer has declined to ask us not to record and post that. So, if you can figure out a way to get there, please do. It will be well worth your time. And then there will be a lunch and learn. I will not back you up because I'm not doing it. There will be a lunch and learn on January 10th and Toby's going to do that. Toby, do you want to tell us a little bit about what we can expect for the lunch and learn on January 10th, please? Sure, can everybody hear me? Yeah. Okay. My partner in assistive technology, Lindsey Balanson, I last year developed or started working on a Weebly or a website about switch access. And we kind of let it fall off the wagon because once we started digging into it, we realized, well, you know what, there's actually a lot more to this than we can, then we have time to actually put together. And then this year, the OTs asked if I would present something for them. And everybody who knows me knows how much I love presenting. So I finished the Weebly and it became an introduction to thinking about switches using the set process and then how it works. So I set up six different stations and we all kind of went around and looked at speech output switches and we looked at interfaces that would allow switch access to computer. We looked at different kinds of mouse emulators. We looked at iPads and switches. And Ross, I have to give you a big shout out. Ross was my teacher. He would just give me stuff and show me how it was meant to be. So part of this Weebly is looking at how those things work and it's a list of resources. Kind of one-stop shopping is what I was trying to do where you can look at the why's and the how's and the setup. And then part two will be how switches and switch access can provide curricular access and we'll do some specific work around learning matrix, breaking down the different subject areas where switch work fits in and why and for who. So lovely. Yeah, we're looking. So I'm just gonna say I was told about this by folks at the Glen Rose saying, ooh, it was really good. So kudos to, I wasn't there. So I thought, okay, hearing ready reviews, we're gonna invite her. So thank you. I think that's going to be quite marvelous and that will be in January the 10th. So mark your calendars and we will be sending out more information about all of that. So awesome. Thank you, Toby. Does anyone else have any updates or sharing or anything that you want to do before we close up tonight? Okay, as always, you guys are such a talkative group. I think we're gonna have to find some assistive technology or some language support. So anyway, we, Ross and I wish you a Merry Christmas and I was gonna put all the other things that we could wish but I just really liked this. So we hope you have a marvelous holiday and lots of wonderful things and lots of rest and relaxation because I clearly know how hard you guys are all working to provide voices whether it would be low tech, high tech communication partner voices for these children who are some of our most vulnerable. So I really hope that you have a lovely holiday time, spend it relaxing, enjoying, being family, all of that good stuff. And we will see you next year. So good night, everyone. I hope this was a useful for you. Please go back and look at some of these sites and maybe don't start going everywhere. Just pick one, just pick one and start exploring. And everyone has lots of things that can learn and that can be used across all kinds of various systems. So thank you so much with that. I will say good night.
