Critical Communication

Underneath the fun of Tuneville is a passion to help student's with disabilities communicate. The majority of the most troubling behaviors stems from an inability to make wants and needs known. The greater degree of control and ownership a person has of his life, the less work a caregiver or teacher has to invest in continually managing behaviors. In conjunction with Tuneville lessons, teach key words or signs like “finished” and “more”. Then make “or” and “then” primary vocabulary goals. More on these two power words in the next entries.
