Welcome to October!!! This month, our focus at Kurtz will be on raising awareness about bullying and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) in support of Special Olympics Unified Schools. On October 16th, we will participate in Wear Orange Day to stand against bullying. This day, known as Unity Day, is the hallmark event of National Bullying Prevention Month and will take place on Wednesday, October 16, 2024.The central message of the day is to unite for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion to help prevent bullying. The color orange symbolizes safety, visibility, and protection, serving as a bold statement of support for students who have been affected by bullying. Check out the following video that teaches about AAC devices.
