Speech Pathologist Summer Broekhof is trying out a "buddy device" in peer-to-peer today! Kids learn best from each other. What better way to encourage communication and inclusion than with a peer model?! Thanks Jessica Bluhm, Assistive Technology Coordinator, for the awesome suggestion! #SaginawISD

A classroom setting with three young children and a teacher engaging in an educational activity. The children are seated at a wooden table, working on worksheets with images, glue sticks, and tablets. One child in the foreground is using a tablet with a communication app. The teacher, wearing glasses, a brown jacket, and a graphic t-shirt, is standing and assisting the children. The classroom has wooden cabinets, a couch, and exercise balls stored on top of a cabinet in the background. The environment suggests a special education or inclusive learning setting.
