When something feels hard, HELP can give a child a way to communicate what they need. This Core Word HELP Book is an AAC core vocabulary activity designed to introduce the meaning of HELP and provide repeated opportunities to see the core word used across functional, familiar messages.
This core word book for speech therapy teaches that HELP can be used to ask someone for assistance, offer assistance to someone else, and communicate during play, daily routines, learning, and problem solving. The introductory pages also include examples such as “HELP,” “HELP me,” “I need HELP,” and “Can you HELP?”
The resource also includes AAC modeling information for using HELP with a core board or high-tech communication system. Examples show how communication partners can model HELP during everyday situations such as a stuck toy, a closed container, or getting dressed.
