Yes and No Response Cue Cards and Practice Board Editable

About this resource

EVERYTHING INSIDE — 23 pages, 262 type-in fields

• 2 response cue cards (Yes, No), each with its own thumbs-up or thumbs-down picture AND the word printed underneath — the gesture alone reads "good/bad," so the word is never dropped
• A reference page: both cards side by side on one poster, with a detail table naming what each picture shows and what it means
• A Response Board: fixed YES and NO panels (not an empty slot to build), a 5-round quick-practice table, and three notes on how the board is used
• Every reference page and cue card printed twice — a full-color set and a black-and-white ink-saver set
• 6 cut-apart color cue cards on one sheet (3 full sets of the 2 words, so a worn or lost card already has a spare) and 6 more in ink-saver
• A student practice page ("Look and Answer"): 8 invented, concrete picture questions with Yes/No to circle (the file's assessment-denial note lives on the Start Here and how-to pages adults read, not on the student's own sheet)
• 12 blank response cards with a type-in word line, for a student whose team uses a different word, sign, or picture for the same two responses
• A how-to page: before the first session, the three moves every round, how many rounds to run, what the picture ambiguity risk is and how the word under it solves it
• A Response Practice Log (18 rows: one row per session, one letter per round — independently, with a prompt, or not answered)
• A weekly roll-up (8 weeks) with a percent-independent graph
• A filled example — an invented student, one session on the log and three weeks on the roll-up, every number re-counted from its own row
• A family page with a small take-home cue-card set and a week of home practice tracking
• A hand-off page so a paraprofessional or a general education teacher runs the same cards and board the same way
• A phrase bank: 22 lines in 6 groups (spoken words for each round, written starters for the log, the roll-up and the note home)
• A storage and binder label sheet: 11 labels and a spine strip
• Start Here, a contents page with page thumbnails, and a "what's next" back page

A thumbs-up/thumbs-down pair is the most common two-card AAC/visual-support bank on this shelf, and also the pair most likely to read as "good/bad" instead of "yes/no" when the gesture is left to speak for itself. This file never relies on the gesture alone: the word prints under the picture on every card, the board, the family strip and the labels, and the how-to page says why, once.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the response board, the practice log, the roll-up, the family page, the hand-off page and the blank response cards, or print and use a pen. The reference and card pages print on cardstock or plain paper; the cards cut along dashed lines. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document.

It is a way to offer a yes/no response in pictures and keep a record of whether the response was given, how. It is not a language assessment, an eligibility tool, or a therapy protocol, and it names no clinical finding. It carries no prompt hierarchy, fading schedule or mastery rule, and it promises no outcome. It does not judge whether a chosen response was the correct content answer — only whether the two-card response was used, and how independently. The specific questions asked are your own plan — this file supplies the cards, the board, and a place to record the response, nothing about what to ask or how to prompt it.

Who This Is For

Speech-language pathologists, special education teachers and paraprofessionals working on a closed yes/no response, case managers who need that practice to show up as data, and the families who get the home page sent home.
