This continuity is critical in developing communication skills, and your gift is helping to bridge the gap between school-based support and home use.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to share that the student's family will receive training on how to use the AAC system effectively. This training will empower them to support their child's communication across environments, reinforcing what is learned at school and promoting meaningful interactions at home.\r\n\r\nThis has truly been a collaborative effort. A robotics teacher and one of our high school students generously contributed their time and talents to design and 3D print a custom keyboard guard to support the student's physical access to the iPad.
