Searchable Transcript

[00:00:00.000]just some very essential human rights when it comes to communication and so we did add in the
[00:00:18.000]communication bill of rights i have the right to be given real choices to say no and refuse and
[00:00:25.220]reject choices if i want i can ask uh for what i want or share my feelings we need them to be able
[00:00:33.900]to let let that known we we know that there is a major need for mental health care right now
[00:00:41.100]to be heard and responded to even if the answer is no to ask for and get attention and to seek
[00:00:49.200]out that interaction to having to use my speech speech systems at all times
[00:00:55.200]please no better do better we are no longer going to have these speech devices in a backpack
[00:01:03.140]sitting up on a counter running out of batteries we're gonna look at plan a and then we're gonna
[00:01:11.580]also have a plan b and a plan c and maybe it needs a plan d so today we are really going to
[00:01:18.620]make certain that these students this is their voice and we are going to make sure
[00:01:25.180]that they have access at all times to speech to be taught how to communicate again this today
[00:01:33.980]we aren't looking at the choice of mode of communication we are looking at how to teach
[00:01:41.240]and so we're really going to hone in on that one today ask for and know about my schedule
[00:01:47.740]and my world i have the right to have my speech system in working order
[00:01:54.140]and to also have a backup so we want to look at that one big time today
[00:01:59.740]to be full and an equal member of my community jessica i've heard her say so many times
[00:02:07.460]inclusion isn't just me sitting in the room but it's being an active participant
[00:02:11.960]within that classroom, to be treated with respect and dignity, to be spoken with and not about.
[00:02:20.360]And so we do want to make sure that we understand that we maybe take a step back when those peers
[00:02:29.360]are getting involved so that our learners learn how to speak to their friends. That's where they
[00:02:35.820]need to be developing those friendships, not with the single adult beside them. And to be
[00:02:41.600]communicated with in a sensitive manner. We do want to make sure that all of our students know
[00:02:48.980]that we value them and we know so much about trauma-informed care. So we want to make sure
[00:02:57.620]that we are working with individuals in a very sensitive manner. So individual with those
[00:03:06.320]communication differences, we want to be communicate, they want to be communicated with
[00:03:11.240]responded to in a dignified manner. They want to be able to request and refuse just like their
[00:03:17.760]peers. They want to socially engage, obtain that information, seek out the assistance that
[00:03:23.100]that they need. It's not just a want necessarily, but it's a need. And then just to have some
[00:03:29.260]overall control with interactions and activities that they participate in.
[00:03:33.460]So communicative competence. Communicative competence refers to an
[00:03:40.880]individual's ability to effectively convey their opinions, thoughts, and feelings. It involves the
[00:03:47.880]knowledge of language and an awareness about how to use the language appropriately in various
[00:03:54.480]settings and contexts. So we will look at a culmination of competencies that build
[00:04:03.640]into this beautifully robust communicative competence.
