A common myth when it comes to the implementation of augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) is that a voice output device will somehow hinder or delay the development of verbal speech. Evidence has proven this claim to be unsubstantiated. In fact, AAC serves to help people develop verbal speech.
Sketchnoting is a form of notetaking where the person taking notes draws an image. The visualization is meant to tie concepts together and can be made using a combination of text and pictures. The active process of creating the sketch note along with the visual representation of the concepts helps the learner make connections and remember the content. Beyond paper and pencil, any tool that provides a drawing feature could be used to create a sketchnote including but not limited to the following:

Speech-to-text can help people produce text without the use of a keyboard. Learners can compose text without the need of fully-developed spelling or typing abilities. Voice Typing is a feature built into Google Docs which allows a user to create text with one’s voice. Read&Write for Google Chrome also has a speech input function which allows users to add text to notes of Google Slides and directly into the chat of a Google Meet.
The following is an example created by Speech-Language Pathologist, Jessica Cerovich, who models language using an AAC application while playing with race cars.
Learners can use their LCPS Google accounts to create and manage multiple calendars using Google Calendar. 
Google Calendar has color coding, collaboration, and reminder features to help individuals never miss another event. Different views allow the learner to see a schedule for the day, week, month, or even more customized options. At first, learners might need guidance about what types of events should go on the calendar. Over time, using the calendar becomes habitual and part of one’s daily routine. The Google Workplace Center has a step-by-step guide to learn how to use and manage Google Calendar.
Summer is the perfect time to practice adding items to the calendar such as sporting events, family outings, scheduled chores, and more. This way when the school year kicks into gear learners can begin to add events related to academic learning.
