Placement and educational decisions made about a student, forever impact their life trajectory. If a student is segregated right now, they will have significantly less opportunities with others and to be in community after graduation.

We need to talk about this a lot more.

Thanks for the distraction #ATchat . Back to work on my presentation for tomorrow. #Procrastination #WorkBestUnderPressure

Jennifer joining you from snowy Wisconsin where we are going to bed tonight knowing we have a snowday tomorrow! Woot Woot! Dream vacay: anywhere there isn't snow but there is sand and an ocean! #ATChat

What is the vendor presence like at ATIA this year? It was noticeably different at CTG this year which was disappointing since it’s a huge reason I go. #ATchat

Hi AT Chat. Wish I was in sunny, warm Florida. Instead the frigid temps of Wisco. Keep on tweeting for the next few days. Looking forward to reading the highlights! #ATChat

BQ: Yes, as long as this group of amazing AT professionals is there, I’m happy to try something new. #ATChat

A3: I honestly think it’s more about the people who are using the platform. I come to Twitter for this group of people. I hate tweeting, but this is where this #CommunAT is at! #ATChat

A2: Following companies & groups on FB is one of my main social media connections asynchronously. This platform is the only one I use in real-time interactions, tho. It’s also where I can connect with more “hardcore” AT peeps and where I go when I need answers. #ATChat

A1: I joined in 2011. I use FB and Instagram for personal use. I have a private practice FB page. Twitter is my main tool for learning and connecting in real-time for PD and networking. I don't like the direction of Twitter but I’m in a wait and see holding pattern. #ATChat

Hello from snowy Wisconsin! In between ubering kids around so I scheduled a few tweets. I miss Twitter chat! Morning for running and evening after everyone is in bed to get work done! #ATChat

You heard it here first, Caroline Musslewhite is selling all of her knitting at @CTG2022 after her last session! Proceeds go to Out and About, a community outing group for people who use AAC. Noon. Grand Ballroom F. #BeThere #ATChat #SLPeeps #SpreadTheWord

They were fabulous today! One of my favorite presentations! #ATChat #CTG2022

“Switch it Up” with some amazingly enthusiastic presenters from HMS Connect. Check out their Padlet of ideas! Their use of disco ball motors, leaf blowers, and PowerLinks is genius! This may be my favorite session! padlet.com/tgiardina/1vsv… #ATChat #CTG2022

I LOVED Lauren Bonnet, PhD, CCC-SLP’s presentation on coaching! They had an image of a compass w/their guiding principles. Their “due north” is having your AAC device “out and accessible.” You can’t provide wait time, model, or attribute meaning if it’s not out and accessible! #AtChat #CTG2022

Loved the keynote with Jordyn Zimmerman! Make sure to read the caption in the photo! #atchat #ctg2022
