”Yes/No” PODD inspired Book

This book can be used with any student to engage in a “Yes,” or “No” conversation.

It was created to elicit a “Yes/No” response as an alternative access form of a Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display (PODD) book with Partner Assisted Scanning for students who use Augmentative and Assistive Communication. (AAC)

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.
