Adapted book clubs aren’t about simplifying stories. They’re about expanding access. When we use AAC, visuals & partner-supported communication, EVERY voice is part of the conversation. 💬📚 #AccessChangesEverything #AAC #InclusiveLiteracy

#AccessChangesEverything feels especially true seeing the Community Living class at @SJCEagles embrace ASL to support a peer. Effort from staff & students to learn, model & communicate using ASL sends a powerful message: you matter here & your voice deserves to be understood.🤟🏾💙

A trip to the movies should be for everyone. With pre-teaching, visual supports & communication systems, adapted school trips turn “watching” into “belonging.” 🎬 #AccessChangesEverything #SchoolSLP #Inclusion

Reflect on the person you are and who you want to be. May we all choose to be a blessing. 🙏

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

In our classrooms, programs like Readtopia show what’s possible when literacy is truly accessible. With visuals, core vocabulary & rich texts, every student can participate meaningfully. 📚#AccessChangesEverything #Readtopia #ComprehensiveLiteracy

John Silvestri releases his SEA project this week to SERTs to create data flow, accuracy, efficiency and most of all accountability. This project took 6 years to arrive at this point and we are super grateful for his efforts and for improving this process. 👏
