Partner Assisted Scanning Tips

A method of communication where a partner reads the selections aloud systematically while observing the communicator’s indications.

Read using a monotone voice so as not to influence the communicator’s choices.

After their response is shared, repeat back to them the full message and then adopt a conversational tone to comment and respond. �

The student/communicator will indicate their yes or no choices by their best means:

Vocalize for yes: quiet voice for no/keep going
Nod head for yes: shake head side to side or no movement for no/keep going
The Red X symbol indicates a “No” response.
The Green Zero symol indicates a “Yes” response.
