Disinfecting Wipes: Best of... Therapy Tools! January 2020

Hey Community! We ended our first month of 2020 with a NEW "Best of" article. At the conclusion of each month, we will be sharing some of our best therapy tools, tricks, and tips. Look out for our post at the end of each month to follow along - enjoy!

For the start of 2020, we have decided to wrap up each month with a Best of post. We are excited to start sharing some of our bests for therapy - whether that be a new AAC software, therapy tool, or fun communication tip. Let us know what you think in the comments below! Even better - if there is a specific area that you would like tools/resources for, let us know that too!
