Talk about functional communication! ..Check out our @JamesMadisonHS grad using his #AAC to pick up his graduation items @PRCSaltillo @ATS_FCPS

@ATS_FCPS @fcpsnews Love this!

The ATS family is proud to have a special connection to Liat and her family. Thank you for reminding us all to “shine in our own light”—you are truly an inspiration! #StudentVoice @fcpsnews

@ATS_FCPS @fcpsnews She did such a great job!

Empowering student voice is priceless! We’re so proud of FCPS student Emmi for sharing her assistive technology journey with educators at the CEC Conference. #StudentVoice #AssistiveTech #ATisEverywhere @fcpsnews

I used @goboardmaker to create this order form for @WTWoodson's Coffee Cart. I love how Boardmaker lets you easily incorporate their symbols, web pics and your own saved images. #Visuals helped to make this order form more accessible for everyone! @TobiiDynavox @ATS_FCPS

@ATSAshleyK @ATS_FCPS Everything about today was amazing!!!

We were so excited to present strategies to support AAC integration through modeling in our ATS Classroom Leadership for Advancing Student Success (CLASS) session this morning! These educators are amazing communication partners! @ATS_FCPS

@JaeLee0423 These are beautiful and such a wonderful student and mom! Love seeing this -thanks for sharing!

So heartwarming running into Annandale alum Thomas at the Just World Festival! His Cards by Thomas are beautiful, and it was so special catching up with him and his amazing, supportive mom. So proud of all he’s accomplished! #AtomNation

Join our amazing ATS peeps—Meaghan, Jennifer, Jeff, and Betsy—at @ATIAorg! They’re looking forward to seeing you there!@atiaorlando #ATIA2025 #AssistiveTechnology #UDL #ATisEverywhere #InclusiveTools #AllMeansAll

@ATSAshleyK @ATS_FCPS @VDOEATNetwork I bet you guys were awesome!!!

Thanks to the folks @PrAACticalAAC for keeping this list of Thanksgiving-related activities active. Quick and meaningful downloads for your AAC users to enjoy the holiday! #Thanksgiving #StudentVoice #AAC @ATS_FCPS praacticalaac.org/featured-posts…

The amazing Mark Thompson & SBTS @MsDonoghueMHS @mcleanhigh created an A+ tech based HP lesson! Wheelofnames.com virtual sorting hat + a creative Daily Prophet template made in @AdobeExpress for students to write about their chosen house, made this lesson magical @ATS_FCPS

@ATS_FCPS Definitely the best!

Today we say goodbye to an incredible member of the ATS family. Thank you, Kirsten, for your unwavering support, dedication, and positivity. You’ve truly made a difference here, and while we’ll miss you, we’re excited to see all you’ll accomplish in your new role. #ATSfam4ever

Way to go @The_Terrace_ES for promoting #AAC use and representing all of our students! Adding this visual above the water fountain was a great way to do both! @PRCSaltillo @ATS_FCPS #ATisEverywhere

@ATS_FCPS @CamelotFCPS Love it!

Another fun collaboration with the SLP, teacher and ATS Coach Elayna at @CamelotFCPS! Students are having a blast building transportation vehicles from healthy foods while practicing their communication skills. #StudentVoice #AAC

@JaeLee0423 @AnnandaleAtoms Congrats!!!

I am beyond thrilled to share that I have been appointed as new Assistant Principal at @AnnandaleAtoms! Having this opportunity where I started my teaching career means the world to me and I look forward to continuing to support our amazing Annandale community. #AtomNation

We had so much fun this morning @PoeMiddleSchool using our #AAC during break time. There was so much to chat about while playing with Legos and cars...such an easy way to talk about speed, color, shape, size, and make lots of comments and requests. @AACandAutism @ATS_FCPS

@winklerATS @ProvidenceES @texthelp @ATS_FCPS Wow! So awesome! Way to go, Ms Kumasi!

How many great writing strategies do you see Ms. Kumalo @ProvidenceES using today? She’s modeling Read&Write from @texthelp and tables to text. AND she has visuals, sentence starters, and word banks to support understanding and independence! @ATS_FCPS

@CRadek2 @ATSAshleyK @lbgewirtz7 @ATS_FCPS They are awesome!

It’s always a great day when you catch @ATSAshleyK and @lbgewirtz7 teaching folks about #AAC! @ATS_FCPS
