This evening I had the chance to finish my Arf Arf Attributes series!!! I hope that they are beneficial to many! If you are unfamiliar with the game below is a description of each level with a link to my teachers pay teachers store. Arf Arf Attributes is a receptive language focus game inspired by my patients with difficulty processing the identification of objects with various attributes included.

The AAC that I am using with this patient I believe is the mini-com (two of them to be specific) from Enabling Devices. It looks very similar to the AAC on the table below except it is just one yellow switch that allows for recording...
