How to run it
Model in Spanish, in the situations where the words belong. Más at snack, otra vez during a game, abre at a door — the word attached to the moment is learned far faster than the word on a card. Mira is the one to model deliberately, because it is a comment rather than a request and most core boards get used entirely for getting things. Ten minutes on the board, then a session of modelling.
Cueing ladder
Start at the top. Add support one step at a time.
- IndependentSet up the moment, then wait with an expectant look for 10 seconds.Log as correct
- GesturePoint toward the device or the right area of the page.Log as cued
- ModelTouch the symbols on the device yourself while you say the message.Log as cued
- Partial physicalOnly if the team agrees and the student accepts touch: a light touch at the elbow toward the page. Never press the symbol for them.Log as cued
Adjust it
Fewer symbols on the page, and model the message several times before you expect it.
Wait longer before prompting, or expect one more symbol in the message.
Matching IEP goal
During structured activities, Student will use their AAC system to make a request in 8 of 10 opportunities across 3 consecutive sessions, given no more than a gestural prompt.

Twelve Spanish core words for the requests that fill a day: quiero, más, ya (terminé), ayuda, no, sí, mira, dame, otra vez, mi turno, abre, vamos. Core vocabulary is small and high-frequency by design, and these twelve cover most of what a young AAC user needs to say before any topic-specific vocabulary is added.
What to listen for
Watch the balance between requests and comments. A student whose use is all quiero, más and dame has a functional system and a narrow one, and mira produced spontaneously is a real milestone. Notice no and sí, which are the most powerful words here and the ones adults are most likely to override.
Carrying it home
In a Spanish-speaking home the modelling is free and constant. Hitting the symbol while saying the word, during things that were happening anyway, is the whole method.

Questions
- Is this board in Spanish?
- Yes, all twelve words are Spanish. This page is in English so an English-speaking clinician can find and evaluate it.
- Do I need an account?
- No, it plays free with no login.
- Why so few words?
- Because core vocabulary is small and high-frequency by design. These twelve cover most of a young child's day, and a larger board is slower to navigate for no extra benefit early on.
