After School Make and Take Workshop #2 - Carol City Elementary

The make and take crew took a trip to the north of the county for our second afternoon workshop at Carol City Elementary. Alex Lopes, Lavaye Lockhart Dien Forbes and Ericka Holts hosted 10 Pre-K SPED teachers and 1 speech/language pathologist in the creation of PVC Flip Charts. It was a great turnout and we had fun sharing ideas, cutting, laminating and catching up with friends.

Cool Augmentative Communication Resources

"101+ Ways to Use Single Message Devices"

"101 Ways to Use Sequential Message Devices"

"Sequencing Ideas"

Thanks to Tina McAlpin for the suggestion
