🌟 Throwback Thursday! 🌟

We’re still smiling about the incredible Fall Festival at our UCP of Central Florida - Seminole Campus 🎃✨ Abigail Raines, our SLP/AAC Specialist, had the chance to witness some amazing AAC use firsthand. The Seminole team programmed Big Macks for each car, making sure every student could say "trick or treat" independently!

A special shoutout to Ashley Cahalane and Samantha Bostelman for all their hard work in the weeks leading up to the event—programming fall festival vocabulary and personalizing student AAC devices with costume buttons, so everyone could participate and enjoy the fun! 🙌

We love how AAC supports communication and inclusion! 🧡
