This group is to share your most successful boardmaker lessons and ideas that you have found successful with autistic students. The students can range anywhere from high functioning to low functioning. The group can share effective behavior programs and good social stories that have helped eliminate some of the behavior problems of autistic students.

This group recognizes that an increasing number of schools are enabling their staff to access interactive, white boards such as Smart Board and Promethium Boards to provide dynamic, interactive, and effective instruction through whole class and individual activities. The goal of this group is to provide a specific place for those individuals to find functional and useful Boardmaker Software Family activities that either were made specifically for these interactive, white boards or have been modified from their original form to be used on these boards. Group will be actively moderated by an Implementation Training Specialist from DynaVox Mayer-Johnson. Active discussion and posting of activities that members have made or found useful for interactive, white boards is encouraged. Please write a short description of how activity was/is used. Thanks!

This group is for sharing adapted science experiments/labs for kids and adults with severe or multiple special needs. Please go beyond "read and respond", sorting and other paper only work and share hands-on (and switch on!) experiments and labs.

This group is for activities that teach or reinforce math skill for individuals with severe special needs.

The "Oklahoma Unit" was created by OATC staff to give teachers working with students that have moderate to severe disabilities a creative and engaging way to teach academic skills and also help them accommodate the physical, sensory, or cognitive limitations their students may have. This unit contains many no, low, and high tech activities that cover the following curricular areas: reading, writing, math, social studies/community, science, art, music, and cooking.

How to use boardmaker with a smart board

The purpose of this group is to have a place for all Oklahoma teachers to share the OAAP activities they have created that can be used with students who are assessed through the portfolio assessment in the state of Oklahoma. We would ask that when you do upload an activity that you would label the activity in the same format that we have started labeling. We believe this will make it much easier to search the activities. For example, you create an activity on reading graphs for 5th grade science. Label would be Science-P5.4, C5.3-Answer Questions about Graphs-Wind Experiment Also, if you create a Boardmaker Plus activity, please title the "main page" as _main. Thank you!
