Using and learning sign language. Knowledge of a variety of “talkers”. Google Docs familiar.

As students and/or kids learn from me, I too learn from them as well. I began learning and understanding sign language when I started my position as an EA at PHM.

I've worked with numerous individuals that use a talker/ communication device and have learned myself how to navigate through most of them. 

Google docs is what I am most familiar with when it comes to software. I use it almost on a daily basis for a lot of jobs and lessons within the classroom/program.
