The right to communicate is a basic human one, and yet how many people are often met with silence when trying?
We are social beings who need each other not just to exist but thrive.
How can your child be a part of anything if no one listens to them communicate?
Judgments are quickly made when an individual is non-speaking – they probably don't have much to say, or they must not be very smart...what
conclusions have you heard about non-speaking people?
We need to ensure all modes of communication are honored and respected equally. And our guest speaker this week will help us understand that more fully.
Otto Lana, a debonair high school student, joins us on Thursday, October 27th. Otto has autism and apraxia and is a multimodal communicator. I know you'll enjoy his sense of humor!
See if you can arrange your lunch break on
Thurs., October 27th, so you can join us live at Noon Mtn. Time, 2 pm ET, 1 pm CT, 11 am PT.
We'll be on my Facebook page, Visions and Voices Together. Invite friends and colleagues so they can also learn from Otto.
