A picture of Mary Lavender, she had blonde hair and is wearing pink top. She has an upper limb difference. She is smiling while holding up a bag that says ATIA "empowering a world without barriers for people with disabilities." There is a round logo in the upper lefthand side of the image that say AT Scholar.

Hannah Williams from Hannah Joy Communications joined the @AACSIG to discuss re-framing working directly with individuals to deliver interventions, vs, supporting their parents or primary care givers for best outcomes. Very interesting! #aac #aacsigstudyday
