What an awesome resource!

Another great Assistive Technology Classroom Leadership for Advancing Student Success (CLASS) course focused on AAC integration is underway! A packed room = amazing collaboration amongst educators and SLPs ATS FCPS

I will forever consider one of my greatest blessings to be the time I spent working with Jeff. May we never stop learning, never stop trying new restaurants, but mostly to never stop “living the dream” as my dear friend.

The Chantilly High School Academy PT/OT and Engineering students collaborated, designed and built a functional bed for Liam when he returns to school. I’m so blown away! Way to go team! PT/OT Services @ FCPS ATS FCPS PRC-Saltillo fcps.edu/news/gift-liam…

Families: Is your child using a PRC-Saltillo communication device? Don't let the talking stop over the summer! They are offering an AAC for Families Summer Webinar Series and it's FREE! #AAC #StudentVoice Register here: AAC Learning Journey

Look at this clever idea! ATS Coach Allison used a variety of materials, including a cardboard bowl that was laying around our office to make this tactile communication device. It's fun to use what you've got to make materials more accessible for students. #AAC #LowTech

How many great writing strategies do you see Ms. Kumalo Providence Panthers using today? She’s modeling Read&Write from Everway (Formerly Texthelp) and tables to text. AND she has visuals, sentence starters, and word banks to support understanding and independence! ATS FCPS

It’s always great to see the extended ATS family at our staff meeting. It was even sweeter debuting our team shirts 😁

Check out all of these great deals for #AAC Awareness month! Thank you Lauren Enders Gonzales, MA, CCC-SLP for making this list every year!

I found a great video explaining modeling without expectations is simply “noticing what your learner is already communicating and using AAC to talk more about it”. The animations are perfect examples! ATS FCPS youtu.be/OZ9_gxgEkMs?si…

I’m planning to check this out! Come join me!

It’s Spirit Week to celebrate various inclusive and assistive technology tools PoplarTreeES. The 4th grade students in the TechSquad created brief videos to showcase each one. Make sure to check out their Instagram account! ATS FCPS
