AAC in Action: Watch the Clark Girl Scout Troop's "How To" Video HERE

Clark Girl Scout Troop 41248

Clark Girl Scout Troop 41248 in Clark has raised money over the past 2 years selling cookies with a goal of purchasing a Communication Playground Board to help support the needs of early language learners and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) users. It was installed this past July at the Caitlin Nelson Memorial Park at the Clark Recreation Center/Clark Preschool. The Communication Board was unveiled with representatives from NJSHA, NJCART, Clark Recreation, Clark Board of Education and Town Council, and the Mayor of Clark in attendance. The scouts also developed a video in which they demonstrate ways the Playground Board can be used. The QR code on the Board provides a link for people to view the video. Congratulations to Scout Leader and Speech/Language Pathologist Leigh Anne Jadro and her troop for their perseverance and innovative accomplishment in advancing awareness of AAC, and demonstrating AAC in Action!
