A student I work with uses AAC but doesn’t have science terms in their device. The focus is on core vocabulary but I feel lost not teaching these terms. I wanna modify but feel lost. I could contact the speech teacher but need a short term solution

What is the software program they are using on their ACC? LAMP, Touch Chat and others allow you to edit them and add words. It is fairly simple to do. The hardest part is figuring what page/path you want the words on.

Talk to the SLP. If you have a reason to use them, then the student should have access to them somehow. As an SLP, I love when teachers give me lists of relevant vocab for students with AAC

like

MES1 Correct, SLP can put the terms in AAC if not talk to you program specialist at the district office. They should be able to help. If this becomes a continuous issue you may have to go so far as to write this as a goal in the student's IEP.

Can you use a laminated page with velcro icons for now? He/she can match the icon with the definition or picture

I know it would be nice to have it on the device but it could be done with low tech pictures. Get with the special Ed teacher to help you create a word bank using pictures and the vocabulary that the student can access.

Is it possible to make north of $300K in the HR organization?

I have some personal/family (economic) goals I’d planned to accomplish in the next few years, but now I’m concerned if by following my passion, I’m putting my family at risk. Thoughts?

Got an offer today...

Applied for a mechanical engineering position. Salary range was 65-75k a year. When asked about salary during the first interview, I replied 70k is my number. Later I found out that since it's a small company no health benefits would be provided, but 10 PTO days are included. Had I known about the lack of health benefits and 401k match I would have increased my bottom.

The offer today was for 70k but now I'm not sure if I should try to negotiate for another 2-3k?

Question: If SPED students are receiving their Resource Minutes AFTER the regular school hours from their peers (8:30-10:30) is that Legal? They are not being pulled from the general Ed classes, but participating in an extended day. Should minutes be calculated based on a normal school day or the 2 hours they are in class?
