AAC & iPads to the Beach- It’s PrAACtically Summer
Summer seems to have started in South Florida. It is hot, really hot. When it is really hot, swimming and water play seem to be a natural fit. We first promote the idea of water safety and make appropriate referrals. But, we LOVE to promote communication in and around the water. It used to be simple… no AAC devices too close to the water. We had some really cool no tech communication supports that worked in the water. We still use them. Has anyone made a communication kick board? If not, we still highly recommend creating them. Stock up on clear contact paper.
But now there are some great water protection iPad and iPod cases. AND a Bonus Solar option. We are definitely going to try these this summer:
