Building materials are the essential components that form the foundation of any construction project. From bricks and cement to steel and lumber, every building material has its unique properties and uses that contribute to the durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal of a structure. Choosing the right building materials is crucial to ensure that the final product meets the required standards and regulations.

The demand for them changes over time. This is also true for the construction industry. AAC blocks are becoming increasingly popular and have emerged as the ideal option for those seeking the best construction option. Blocks AAC has emerged as a viable option for a variety of reasons. We will be aware that these blocks differ significantly from conventional ones. As a result, the installation procedure varies as well.

Hello! Do you have any recommendations for where to learn about Down syndrome, preferably non academic? I feel like I see very little about it within general disabled circles

you're absolutely right - intellectual + developmental disabilities broadly are horribly neglected at basically every level of disability discourse, because (i think) it challenges the postenlightenment obsession with autonomy-as-independence that pervades disabled circles as much as it does everywhere else. that is, we're still lacking a strong conceptual framework for talking about collective self-determination alongside robust social and material supports for people whose neurodivergence doesn't align w/ mainstream expectations of 'intelligence' and 'competence' and 'productivity'. Down Syndrome (despite recent inroads in terms of limited respectability for some/incorporation into the public and economic spheres) is included in this lacuna.

annnnyway, some students with Down Syndrome have been in several of my cources through a program at my University, and I've learned the most about DS from just asking them what they needed from me & what they wanted me to know. Beyond this, I recommend The Arc for up to date info/advocacy, esp. the chapter most local to you. I also like the DSRF - they center actual people vs just their families, are AAC/alt communication positive, and sex + sex-ed positive. The bar is low because of the alternatives, but I'm glad they pass it. Lastly, Down Syndrome International is a great org to follow, and they have a good youtube channel, too. They have a conference coming up in march (NYC/virtual) if you're interested in signing up!)

hope this helps & that we get more work from people with DS themselves in the very near future.

Will never live alone. Will never work without support. Will never not need support in tasks. Will never be able to care for self without help. Will probably never go out in public by myself. Will need AAC. Will have little to no social life unsupported. Will need help with hygiene. Will need help with cooking.

These and more are all the things I will never do or need help with as a medium support needs individual for life. Probably. Wish people could not be like “but you never know 🥺” No I don’t know. But I’m damn near 20 years old, I can assume. Let me speak without undermining my experience. LET. ME. SPEAK. Let me talk about my experiences without your pitiful and hopeful responses

u have made posts telling about your aac you use... would u b willing to share images of how you have it set up and maybe give tips for people working on making their own aac?

I would love to but I think it may give away my anonymity, since I like to share pictures of my different pages. I can share some details and organizing tips though! This isn't anything comprehensive, I think I'd need to spend a lot more time on that, but hopefully this is helpful for someone. For context, I use TD Snap Lite :)

I'll include a list of different word categories at the bottom under the cut, so if you're looking for types of words to focus on, you can skip to there!

Organization part 1

I keep all my commonly used words and folders for other words on my quickfires page, starting with basic communication words (yes/no, who/what/where, etc) and folders (conversation phrases, short responses, nouns, verbs, etc).

Then I have commonly used descriptors, connector words, actions, and nouns. All these are broad words like "thing" or "person," "and" or "because," and "go" and "fix." Even if I didn't have a button for a specific concept, I would still be able to describe it, like "the thing that is mine."

I organize the different buttons in rows on the same page, and try to group similar words together, that way I can find them easily.

I started with buttons for different bADLs (basic activities of daily living), which are bathing, dressing, grooming/hygiene, eating, toileting, and transferring/movement. Then I went to activities that I do every day, like studying, doing housework, or watching TV.

The idea is that I would be able to get through a whole day and be able to describe what I want, what I need, my activities, and what I don't want or need (the ability to say no is important, even for little things!)

Organization part 2

What words I have is important, but so is how I make sure I can find them easily. With TD Snap you can give buttons custom colors and custom border colors, so I use those to organize types of words, and types within those types (so verbs versus nouns, and then people-nouns versus object-nouns)

I also put the most commonly used words towards the right side of the screen, since I'm right handed and that means they'll be easiest to access.

I try to use pastels so I can read the labels, and I edit the text size of all buttons so I can see the symbol and label well. With descriptors, I try to group similar ones together, and group ones that have "opposites" either right next to each other or one above the other (words like up and down, or inside and outside).

Finding gaps

The easiest way for me to figure out what buttons I'm missing is by using my AAC when I'm near full spoons and can think about language well, like now. That way I know what I'm missing, and I can make a button and organize it in the moment without it taking much energy. Usually I'm missing different categories of words, like colors, or words to describe time.

Here's a bunch of word categories under the cut, starting with "essentials" and then moving on to common non-essentials! Feel free to ask me to include any other ideas

BADLs

Bathing (shower, bath, sponge bath, and related words you use for bathing)

Dressing (getting dressed, getting undressed, picking out clothes, words for different types of clothes)

Eating/drinking (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, meal, types of food you eat, spoon, fork, knife, chopstick, bowl, plate, mug, water, warm beverages, napkins, and any other words you use for eating/drinking)

Toileting (bathroom, stall, toilet, sink, washing hands, soap, toilet paper, menstrual products, changing toileting equipment, and any other words)

Transferring/Movement (any mobility aids you use, transferring to/from mobility aids, terms for your aids, walk, run, jog. I included transportation words like "drive" and "car" in my section for this, but that's not necessary)

Yes (and variations)

Maybe

(Tw for ableism that isn't explicity described)

I want to talk about some of the struggles of being an AAC user. I won't cover all of it obviously, because that would take an intense amount of time. I assume it'll all be covered by my blog at some point, spread throughout lots of posts.

Some AAC users (Including myself at times) experience frustration and difficulty with their AAC (whether high tech or low tech), perhaps because it is difficult for them, or because it takes too long. They might also face stigma and discrimination due to being nonspeaking. This can lead to feeling isolated,  frustrated, and not understood. I have experienced both quite a bit, as well as embarrassment because I worry about being viewed as an "I-Pad kid". I am currently working on being less embarrassed, and something that has been helpful for me is seeing other AAC users online (though in person would be even cooler), and adding fun stickers to my case.

Another hard thing faced by some AAC users is the need to constantly educate others about their communication needs and how to interact with them. This can be exhausting and emotionally taxing, especially when you don't have friends, family, etc. near you who understand and support you. I am lucky to have those types of people. I hope my Tumblr blog can reduce these types of scenarios, even slightly.

I also feel sad because I don't see people like me represented much on tv, and when we are (which isnt often) the entire show is usually about our disablity.

this probably because had too many people don’t know & tell me they relate & they know exact what feel like have similar disability & make assume & then lead to speak over, when turn out have complete different experience or even complete different disabilities. so many take advantage of me, many people in many different places online in person in disability spaces in non disability spaces. but.

really. really truly. hate when people (other than close people & people who know for sure have similar experience, but only in specific situation specific exception), people who not know, people who never met, people who met but not close—

when they say they relate to me about disability, say “oh me too,” or react like they know exact what mean.

even include, maybe they truly relate. like when me passing mention own AAC issues how it pain in butt sometimes, someone who stranger who just met who say “oh yeah when i used AAC—“ (for example part time user). some experience most affect full time users but others really just anyone who used AAC may know, so truly may be relate, but still get super annoy when tell me. because. don’t know you. who are you. because just know there slew of assumption they making inside head.

because, spaces am in, often people never seen true severe disabilities. if they ever met AAC users, it going be people who sometime use AAC. which nothing wrong with that. but get annoy when they assume am also one of them, because those are only type they ever see, only type ever in their world, & never try seek out anything else. they also automatic assume am only use AAC now because talk hard right now, or worse, because “going nonverbal.” even when say “am nonverbal,” lot them automatic assume mean “going nonverbal” & not even question that assumption.

“talk also get hard for me sometimes too” this not what this is.

am nonverbal can’t fucking talk.

so yeah relate inside head do whatever. sometimes true genuine relate. but 95% time when people actual write/say out loud they relate. it no where near, & just full their assumption. so, really hate when people don’t know well, tell me they relate.

this not educational post this not “do not tell full time AAC user you relate if you not one” etc etc it just personal talk. honestly don’t even expect anyone remember this & follow through it. other full time AAC users may be opposite & get really happy when someone say relate & used AAC before.

&. this not just about my full time AAC.

[faggypuppywhore]

I hate making a pinned post but I'm so tired of blocking people so to save me half the time wasting here is a bit of info about me

I have multiple paraphilias I will not tell you which ones

I do not support demonising of any disorder including but not limited to Personality disorder, Paraphilias, Body integrity identity disorder or any other disorder

Pro minding your business when it comes to consenting adults. So pro porn and pro kink. this includes but is not limited to monster fucking, pet play, feedism, age play, extreme CNC/rape play, and detrans/misgendering kink.

Im psych critical/anti psych No im not anti therapy or medication I also do not think anyone has to recover I think people deserve autonomy to do whatever they want including not forcing themselves into the NT box because you decided they exist in the wrong way (Note: I do not think people who are recovering are bad people or doing something wrong I just believe recovery should not be mandatory for anyone)

If you can not be normal about Jewish people and Zionism I will block you This includes things such as denying Jewish history or the fact that they are indigenous to the southern Levant, calling for the deaths of Jewish people or Zionist, comparing Israel, Jewish people , or Zionism to Nazism, supporting people like Hamas, and any sort of antisemitism

Fiction can not hurt people and creating dark fiction is perfectly acceptable its not a red flag it is not a bad things and shipping or creating dark things is nowhere near the same thing as abuse or being an abuser (its literally a neutral thing its not even slightly bad)

Hey!

This is my blog for all things autism and me related!

This is just me remarking on my past experiences with autism, AAC as a child since i was considered nonverbal back then, Speech/ABA/OT and other therapies as a child to now and yknow, all the classic life experiences for someone with early diagnosed autism spectrum disorder with a speech/language delay.

I'm semiverbal and choiceverbal, meaning i only talk when i'm playing Splatoon 3 or when i'm near familiar people like my parents and my cousins.

I also discuss the future of the autism community online and my thoughts on them.

Might also discuss;

Bullying

Ableism

I might also spam like your content. So beware and make sure to let me know that you don't like me spam liking your content, i won't mind.

Hi Anny!! Got a writing prompt for ya!

So I’ve been seeing your little snippets of the KOW! Swapped AU between Star!Asha and Human!Aster, and they’re all soo cute X33

But now I’m wondering, what would the “At All Costs” scene look like? Or whatever song you swapped for AAC.

Would it be Aster who goes somewhere else private to practice his music? Would it be Asha who’s encouraged by their friends to confess to Aster? How does Aster react? How does Asha handle confessing?

Imagine the 7 (or 6 in this scenario) teens in the background being like: “JUST KISS THAT BOY ALREADY-!!”

Like I said in my original post about the AUs here:

Asha would sing "You Chose Me" from the musical "Breathe" as I think it fits her bubbly and happy personality very well. Now as for how a scene of them would play out, let's see...

After a lot of encouragement from the seven teens, Asha finally makes her way through the woods, following the sound of Aster's music. She finds him standing near a river, with his mandolin strapped on his shoulder, as he practices the magic she has given him.

(As I write this I realize that whole scene in KOW when Asha and Aster are hiding and Asha draws clones of themselves would have to change... Cause drawing is relatively silent, but playing music ain't lol so I guess Human!Aster's approach would be different, in this moment that is about him showing his growth... Maybe something more about him not being afraid to be loud and clear...)

Aster is trying to sing and hit a high note as loud as he can, by doing so he creates sound waves that make the water of the river tremble, but it's not enough, it wouldn't be strong enough to, let's say, knock someone out of balance for example, he gotta try harder.

Aster was so focused on his high note he didn't notice the light coming from behind him, till he feels a finger tap on his shoulder. He stops playing and turns around quickly

"AH- Oh hey Asha" the human didn't quite notice how nervous Asha seemed, like she was anxious to tell him something "Did Simon finish his dinner? We're good to go?"

"Umm yeah, everyone's ready, but- well... I wanted to ask you something first..." Asha can practically feel the 7 teens staring at them behind some bushes, waiting to see her confess... But instead Asha blurted out "Whatcha doing?" she asked awkwardly

"Just trying something different. I wondered if I could cause a sound wave strong and loud enough to be more destructive ya know... But no matter what I feel like my voice is like, stuck in my throat, ya know? Like it should be louder, but I'm holding back, even though I want to let it all out..." He explained with a pondering gaze on the mandolin

"... It takes time to find your voice, but I think the power you already have inside is more than enough to defeat them" The star smiled warmly as she spoke from her heart

"Let's hope. But yeah, what I can do is already pretty great, like, check this out" Aster plays a fast paced melody, and suddenly, the strings of his mandolin start to burn and he creates a fireball "I can make fire! That oughta be useful, right?" They try holding the fireball... It is- "HOT!" He exclaims as he throws the spell in the river "... Ya know, on second thought, maybe I'm not ready to go to the castle yet, maybe we should leave the plan for tomorrow or-"

"I know we'll win." Asha reassures him "You got a lot more power than you think, and that goes way beyond my magic"

Aster smiles and feels his cheeks getting warmer "Heheh thanks. I guess I'm just nervous cause'... Well, everything HAS to go according to plan"

"And what if it doesn't?" Asha tilts her head with a knowing smile

"Then Queen Amable kills us, I guess, or throws us in the dungeon to be her hubby's little lab rats" He shrugs, finding the outcome quite obvious

"... I don't know if things will go according to plan, but..." Asha holds both his hands, looking at him in the eyes with a radiant and optimistic smile that could make any shred of doubt fade away "As long as you follow your heart, you'll find a way... That's what made you wish upon me in the first place, right?" Asha giggled

Aster looks at her fondly, she's like the embodiment of hope...

"OH MY GOD- JUST KISS THE B-" Hal yelled from the bushes, to which Asha used her magic to make a wall of trees in front of the 7 hidden teens to hide them

"What was tha-"

"NOTHING!" Asha blurted out nervously

"Maybe the others are calling us, we should go" Aster begins to walk towards the trail that leads to their camp. But then, he feels her warm hand holding his wrist

"A-Aster wait!" Her voice shakes as she holds him, he looks back at her confused, so she tries her best to explain "I just... I think I discovered something new about how I feel about you... Well your friends did, but that's not the point" She mumbled the last part to herself "And I have so much I wanna tell you, but I don't know how to even start..." Then, Asha glances at Aster's mandolin for a moment, and that gives her idea "... Maybe I could try speaking your language... Can you give me a tune?" She asks with a soft smile

Aster is not quite sure where this is going, he raises an eyebrow at the request but complies "Uuuh sure ok" He starts to play a simple melody

And we get the song "You Chose Me"

[bones-and-earth]

A small gripe about mental health services and their "acceptance" of aac.

Hello if you don't know me , I am Xan. I am a 21 year old semiverbal, disabled person. Recently I have found my ability to speak vocally or form reliable/coherent conversation together to be deteriorating at a very high speed. -especially with speech loss episodes after/during what I perceive as meltdowns, shut downs and moments extreme distress. During these moments it physically hurts to talk if I can talk at all and worsens how I am mentally.

I'm currently in a ph-program near by so I asked one of the charge nurses if I could use my aac app so I could effectively communicate. Not only because it is easier for me but also because It would be crucial to me so I can communicate efficiently even when I am in distress. Much to my surprise they said I would be unable to use my aac device and would have to use a small whiteboard to write out messages. Which I assumed it was because it would be seen as disruptive? But people are allowed to use their phones in between therapy groups. Should I have expected this?

I began using the white board bit I found it somewhat harder to use it due to being unable to form coherent and correct sentences on quick notice. Especially when I'd have to repeatedly snap my fingers at the employees to get their attention just so they can read it.

My friends said I should be allowed to use it and advocate for myself saying that aac use shouldn't be seen as disruptive because aac is a accommodation and needs to be more widely accepted.
