Happy #GAAD! Check out these simple #accessibility tips to support #DigitalInclusion that can help #FCPSKeepCALM and Choose Accessible Learning Materials! #FCPSKeepCALM #AllMeansAll FCPS Education Technology Team FCPS Hearing & Vision ATS FCPS

Why are #AEM important? “There have been times where my text to speech tools didn't work because my AT tools can’t capture pictures of text. I felt annoyed and I gave up.” -Zak, #ATAmbassador #GAAD #StudentVoice #AllMeansAll #a11y #AT #DigitalInclusion ATS FCPS FCPS Education Technology Team

Why use #AEM? “When I don't have accessible materials, there's so many extra things I have to do to make sure I'm taking in all the information. Sometimes I don't remember what I learned because I was busy trying to access things.”-Elle #ATAmbassador #StudentVoice #GAAD ATS FCPS

Huge thanks to our friend, Chris Bugaj Chris Bugaj for honoring our colleague Jeff Powers! His legacy & work in AAC continue to impact FCPS. He brought voice to countless individuals. Thank you for letting us honor him. #AAC #StudentVoice Listen here: talkingwithtech.org/episodes/fcps

AT Ambassador grad alert! Congrats to Zak Woodson HS on this exciting milestone. His most recent use of @TextHelp Read & Write sounds like a game changer. #AssistiveTechnology made a big impact & we're glad you shared your experience. #ATAmbassador Accessibility FCPS

#FCPSKeepCALM - Use Text! All text we use should be selectable and editable, not an image of text. You can check by highlighting the text. If you can select it, it's text. If not, it's an image of text. Accessible text is a key element of UDL. ATS FCPS FCPS Education Technology Team

Anyone have thoughts or resources on how to create accessible math materials that include complex equations? Thank you! @ats_fcps WebAIM Chris Bugaj CAST FCPS Education Technology Team Laura Reed

Had a blast today with AT Coach Sara and SBTS Chrissy Navy Elementary talking about #FCPSKeepCALM, #UDL, and ways to include all learners with accessible learning materials. Thanks for having me! ATS FCPS FCPS Education Technology Team Fairfax Schools 🌟

Did you know you can use the Select to Speak (text reader) in the Chromebook to read material in a foreign language? This is a great tool to use for students who require read aloud as an accommodation in their foreign language class. #AssistiveTech #A11y tinyurl.com/33evwhhx

Resources that can be used in multiple ways reach more learners. Immersive Reader in Schoology lets students read with both eyes and ears, modify text, translate, and more. Give it a try! #FCPSKeepCALM #UDL #A11y ATS FCPS Fairfax Schools 🌟 FCPS Education Technology Team youtube.com/watch?v=Akhrku…
