Aided Language Stimulation Board - Mr Potato Head

Aided Language Stimulation is the process of modelling Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) language in everyday settings. The communication partner communicates with the AAC user verbally, whilst also selecting keywords on the person’s AAC system.

This helps to develop the person's understanding of the communication, and also their ability to use the AAC expressively.

This page can be used to support comprehension and encourage spoken language while playing the Mr Potato Head game.

Just print and laminate this resource and then use to model and encourage spoken language by pointing to the picture symbols on the page.

This resource can also be programmed onto a hightech system (such as a voice output device, or communication app such as Proloquo2Go).

For students who are PECS users, the system can be customised to make some symbols removable to facilitate a physical exchange.
