Representation matters- it’s great to see AAC users popping into all kinds of media…

Teacher friends, @ATS_FCPS, and others! Did you know that the Benchmark program approved by VLA is available through AIM-VA for your students who require access to accessible instructional materials? Check out the AIM-VA website for more information.

🤔Did you know? 🤔

🎉AAC exists on a continuum! 🎉

Individuals with complex communication needs may rely on many forms of AAC. AAC can supplement existing speech or be a primary mode of communication.

[ATS FCPS @ATS_FCPS]

Prepping for the #ATAmbassador session at #RATE2023 that's all about #StudentVoice. We need your help! If you could ask a student anything about their use of inclusive tools, AT, or need for accessible materials, what would you want to know? Thanks!

Last week @PTOT_FCPS, @ATS_FCPS,and teachers/staff from @WestgateElem were caught collaborating to provide #AAC access and #A11y to increase #StudentVoice in FCPS.

Did you know that restarting your computer & shutting it down do different things?
Shutting down takes a snapshot of your current computer settings & will table issues so you can check back on them tomorrow. Restarting will clear the memory & install updates. #Restart!

[Paul Naanou @PNaanou]

I've never loved a senior class more and I want to give them the best. @FLOTUS all they want is you! Will you make our dreams come true and speak at the @FallsChurchHS graduation on 6/3? Your (close) neighbors inside the beltway!

Do you not shut down your computer in order to keep your browser tabs open? With this tip, you don’t have to any more, even after closing, shutting down, or restarting your computer! https://t.co/bhPxIQfhFo @ATS_FCPS #ATSLeimer #ATSlel

[ATS FCPS @ATS_FCPS]

We always have great conversations with our #ATAmbassadors ! Today they shared about accessibility, inclusion, and what that has looked liked during distance learning. We are proud to work with this wonderful group of young leaders. @mollie_kropp @CRadek2
