Capri held it's first Ability Awareness Week January 25-29, 2016. It was organized by Jen Simons. She's a parent and the Special Education Liaison for Capri. She asked if we could host a table during lunchtime at both the main area (grades 1-5) and the kindergarten area. Students were able cycle through and learn about/experience various technology used by students with varied abilities (including text-to-speech, speech-to-text, Alternative Augmentative Communication and switches). We were happy to be a part of it!
