Bringing tactile systems education into the school building is where our mission comes to life.
With support from the , we partnered with the incredible team at P226M to deliver a Tactile Talks workshop for a cross-disciplinary group of SLPs, OTs, PTs, and Special Educators.
Some educators in the room were veterans with experience using tangible symbol systems, while for others this was a first introduction. Bringing everyone together created an important moment to reconnect around the effectiveness and value of tactile communication, sharing reminders, new ideas, and practical ways to apply it across classrooms and therapies.
This is what happens when fabrication meets community building.
For over two decades, we’ve created tangible symbol cards for individual clients and classrooms. Through hands-on workshops like this one, that knowledge moves directly into the hands of the professionals who use them every day, right here in our neighborhood schools.
Huge thanks to the administration and staff for welcoming us in, to the therapists and educators who showed up ready to collaborate, and to our partners who helped shape a session.
This is how inclusion grows: teacher by teacher, classroom by classroom, student by student.
