They had a special presentation by Joseph, who shared his invention with us. There was a general discussion about what other AAC users have invented to help them in their daily lives. Both Carolyn and Samantha found it very interesting and how people are able to be so creative.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">We have a new way to put on lip gloss now!!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">See Nola&#8217;s message below<\/span>&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was interesting to hear how people learned to adapt and maintain their communication and relationships during the pandemic.
