GOAL!!!⚽️Kinder Story Champs = oral language wins! Students are building incredible storytelling skills by creating their own stories using Story Champs icons for support! This JK student @ndcaledonia shared a soccer story including all key story parts & used complex sentences!
The best part of a school dance? Seeing students use AAC to say "dance with me", chat with friends, share preferences & get their groove on while music plays. Communication looks different for everyone & everyone deserves a voice on the dance floor.🪩🕺#AccessChangesEverything
What an EGGstra special day at Pope Francis School! 🐣💬Their adapted Easter celebration was full of joy, connection & meaningful communication opportunities. The inclusive activities & thoughtful supports were a beautiful reminder that when we prioritize access everyone belongs!
Elf Violet got tangled in lights! Students in this K-class used Story Champs icons to talk about her problem & brainstorm ways to help without touching her magic & decided to place a phone nearby so she can call an elf friend📞🧝♀️Can’t wait to see how the story ends! @ndcaledonia
