Hi mom! I had the best day in school today. Do you want to hear about this new learning device I learned about!?
Hi Cindy, yes I would love to hear all about it! Tell me more.
Some kids are unable to speak so they use this device called an Augmentative and Alternative Communication. These devices help them speak!
Wow that is so interesting Cindy! Do you have any friends who use these devices?
I learned about this girl Maya who used to be unable to speak. She is now able to speak in full sentences because of the use of these devices!
ALSO! You're never going to believe this. Some people are able to communicate from their ART!
Wow that is incredible. I have never heard of these devices before. And that is so amazing that these students are able to express themselves through their art.
Even if someone is non verbal doesn't mean they don't have anything to say. They just need access to the right resources!
I couldn't agree more! That is so inspiring. I am happy you are aware and accepting of the differences we all have. Great job learning today Cindy!
