Whiteboard communication.
It is important to give children with SM opportunities within the classroom for them to contribute their own form of communication. However, the teacher does not want to put students with SM on the spot. This means that the teacher needs to know their student very well in able to understand what he/she is uncomfortable with. If the student is comfortable mouthing answers to the teacher then the teacher needs to be willing to accommodate this in praise the child for their efforts. Mini whiteboards are an extremely useful tool for communication with SM students. They can be used as a form of communication between student and teacher, or student and friends. They can also be used as a form of assessment in order to gauge the student's understanding during lessons.
