It's so empowering for students who are AAC users to see @RepWexton use an AAC device to speak on the House floor!

Today, with the assistance of voice to text tech due to my PSP, I spoke on the House floor in favor of my bill to rename the Purcellville post office in honor of Madeleine Albright.

Sec. Albright was a trailblazer & inspiration to countless women in public service, including me.

@usedgov Tip #4 for families of students with disabilities - make sure to connect with your child's teacher/case manager to ensure that any/all accommodations necessary are made with the field trip location for the trip to be as accessible as possible to your student.

Today’s spotlight is Cara Fratta who has served @KilmerCenter for the last 9 years & in @fcpsnews since 2012. “One of my favorite parts about working as a school psych is helping students who have limited verbal skills identify overwhelming feelings & communicate those feelings!”

PTA encourages all community members to be informed about candidates for election and their views on various public education topics, including special education. In line with our mission, SEPTA sent a questionnaire to all FCPS School Board candidates.

https://t.co/WnrKChMzKX

[Fairfax County SEPTA @FCSEPTA]

SEPTA is a non-partisan organization. All candidates were sent this questionnaire on the same date, all responses were due on the same date and all responses were shared publicly at the same time. All responses are published verbatim, as received.

We love seeing accessible communication options on fcps playgrounds! October is #AACAwarenessMonth - @fcpsnews , what other schools have communication boards? And how can we make them a standard part of FCPS playgrounds?

[Ms.Grove’s Class @GroveClass]

Well our new playground communication board sure was a hit today at recess ❤️ @ATS_FCPS
