#yourwordsmatter #totalcommunication #communicationpartners #stayplaytalk #CDASROCK However you communicate, your words matter. Everyone has a right to be heard and has a right to have communication partners who make an effort to understand and honour the words used.

Modelling all types of communication happen everywhere our students go! I feel blessed to have opportunities to model for staff and students in many settings! @HCDSB_SLPs_CDAs @domihcdsb @HCDSB #everydayimmodelling #communicationisconnection #modellingmatters #CDAsrock

Getting ready to work with a student and awesome EA. Today we will take a photo of each piece from the school’s manger scene to use in a Pictello Story. I love using Pictello in a variety of ways, it is a great tool for demonstrating a student’s knowledge. @StPaul_CES #cdasrock
