And, you know, part of our job is to make sure that families are aware of some of these kind of logistical details that become, you know, kind of like a box that we check off when we're first setting up an AAC system, but can so often go overlooked and missed.
podcast-host
And then you have a situation like this where.
podcast-host
You know, something's lost and all of the hours and hours that go into customizing and programming um an AC system are lost.
podcast-host
Yeah, I mean, I think this also brings up a larger challenge and issue, which is kind of the collaboration between home and school sometimes not always being there.
podcast-host
Because I know, like example, one of my students has a he has two systems, two devices, I should say.
podcast-host
Um, and it's so hard because the school has so many parameters.
podcast-host
Around not being able to program certain passwords so that, you know, the family can't get in.
podcast-host
And I totally understand at some level, you know, systems are in place for privacy and protection.
podcast-host
And there's these kind of like, you know, logistical things within districts and organizations that make the programming and the sharing and the collaborating harder.
podcast-host
However, like my students.
podcast-host
Has basically two separate devices and they have to manually update the home system based off of what's happening at school because they can't just kind of share the vocabularies and update that way.
podcast-host
So I think this also just points to a broader challenge, which is sometimes the school home, you know, carryover and collaboration isn't always there.
podcast-host
And, you know, in situations.
podcast-host
how do you fix that?
podcast-host
Like what do you do?
podcast-host
And not that I have like a perfect solution here, but it is really important um to make sure that we
podcast-host
are optimizing, you know, students that have two devices, they have a home device and they have a one that they use at school.
podcast-host
We're figuring out systems in the initial stages so that we can have collaboration.
podcast-host
And again, I think I'm thinking specifically about, you know, AAC specialists who are setting these devices up, getting families going, like creating some type of system in place so that you have that
podcast-host
you have that that that collaboration and that, you know, that synchronicity between um, you know, home and school, just so that we can optimize s communication for our students.
