When schools and families team up, students thrive! Way to go, Susan Lyons, SLP, for hosting an incredible parent training and celebrating a student who is totally rocking his AAC device. Thank you for empowering our families! @ATS_FCPS @MasonCrestES #AAC #SLP

Let’s celebrate a truly creative educator! Madison Mildenberger from Mason Crest is showing us how it’s done. Her classroom adaptations for CVI learners are so effective that they actually benefit her entire class! Bravo, Madison! @ATS_FCPS @MasonCrestES #TeacherAppreciation

Found a gem for my fellow AT fans! This one-pager from @HeartspringKS breaks down 5 essential tips for AAC success.

My favorite? Treat the device as a VOICE—never leave home without it!

New favorite feature alert: @LessonPix "Add to Favorites!" No more hunting for overlays—click the heart and go. Efficiency is everything in a busy classroom! @ATS_FCPS #AssistiveTech #TeacherHacks #AAC #SpecialEd

Check out this routine: after putting away their gear, preschoolers "sign in" by tracing their names on laminated sheets. It’s a brilliant way to build fine motor skills and letter formation right at the start of the day! #EarlyLiteracy #TeacherHacks #FineMotorSkills @ATS_FCPS

This clever PS teacher gives each student a picture that matches the one on their assigned table. It’s a brilliant way to use visual supports to foster independence during the transition from morning meeting to work time. @ATS_FCPS #PreschoolTeacher #TeacherTips #VisualSupports

[Mary Beth Fleming @MBF3CW]

Start the day with choice! This preschool has a brilliant, accessible way for all students to choose their greeting (high-five, wave, fist bump). Simple steps for huge gains in independence! #ECE #TeacherTips #VisualAids @ATS_FCPS

A teacher used the metal doorframe to create a concrete "Home" and "School" transition system. Students move their magnetic names when they enter/exit. Building routine & teaching the concept. #TeacherHacks #SpecialEd #Routine @ATS_FCPS

Need a tool to help students with visual needs focus on text? Try the free Roman Word Bubbling website! It’s perfect for isolating words and supporting students with visual processing difficulties. https://t.co/q9qidmDj6e #Accessibility #VisualSupports #UDL @ATS_FCPS

Indestructible Books! Thanks, Meg Grazman, for sharing. They are durable, rip-proof, and can be wiped clean. Some have a chewable rubber spine for sensory input. Great adaptation for complex needs! #DurableMaterials #SpecialEdInclusion @ATS_FCPS @FranconiaES

Ms. Ehlers, a speech path, is thrilled about the weekly virtual meetings connecting her elementary AAC users with high school buddies. It builds relationships and authentic practice. Priceless! #AAC #SLPeeps #Inclusion @ATS_FCPS @MarshallRoadES @TJHSST_Official

Huge shout-out to Pam Kossoy, who shared practical CVI strategies at the VESOL Alliance on November 10th. A big thank you to TTAC Region 4 for hosting a highly valuable professional development session! #VESOL #TTAC #Inclusion #VisionServices @ATS_FCPS @ViennaES

[Mary Beth Fleming @MBF3CW]

On Veterans Day, this educator ensured their student with CVI could "see" the speaker at the assembly by capturing a close-up photo. This smart adaptation ensures full engagement despite visual challenges. That’s UDL! #CVI #EdTech #Inclusion @ViennaES @ATS_FCPS

Don't underestimate the power of pinning your AT extensions! That tiny click saves a great deal of time. Looking forward to the Read&Write patch—we know the latest Google update caused some hiccups, but the fix is on the way! #AssistiveTech #ChromeTips #ReadAndWrite @ATS_FCPS

[Mary Beth Fleming @MBF3CW]

Genius organization for token boards! This teacher stores the laminated tokens AND preferred item cards right in a small, color-coded box for each student, making implementation smooth and simple! @ATS_FCPS @MarshallRoadES #TokenBoards #BehaviorSupport #TeacherTips

Enhance text accessibility in your classroom for FREE! https://t.co/fZIM7uaswq is a phenomenal resource with articles that include a built-in read aloud function. Brilliance! #ReadAloud #Accessibility #TeacherTools #Brilliant @ATS_FCPS

[Mary Beth Fleming @MBF3CW]

The Spanish interpreter didn't show up for my training today! Quick fix: I used Google Chrome's built-in translation feature to add captions. Don't forget this easy accessibility feature: Settings > Accessibility > Captions. #EdTech #TeacherHacks #Accessibility @ATS_FCPS

[Mary Beth Fleming @MBF3CW]

Big smiles today! Connecting our students who use AAC devices from Marshall Road and Vienna has been a huge success. Reading a story together helps reduce isolation and reinforces that they are not alone! #AACSuccess #ATCommunity #SLP @ATS_FCPS @MarshallRoadES @ViennaES
