The student's augmentative communication system is designed to meet the communication demands of home and the community by the teacher and parents setting up the device to meet the needs of the student. The words that the teacher needs in the classroom are set for daily use in school. The same goes for home and the community. The parents or teacher just program the device to use words that would be appropriate for home and out in the community.
My daughter is using PECS which is a picture exchange system. We don't use it much at home yet because she is still learning how to use it. We do have some pictures that she can use to give us to meet her needs and wants but she usually does not want to use them at home. Since she is choosing not to use it, I do not push her using it because I do not want to discourage her from using it at all.
