“If you are feeling busy there is a reason for that!  And believe it or not we are starting to plan our budget for next year and building in additional staffing to accommodate our growth.  

Please let your SpEd Admin team know if you are in need of additional support and we will do our best to support you.”

New Service for Visually Impaired and Others: https://aira.io/

One of our team members told us about a new service for the visually impaired and many others.

The company claims, "at just the touch of a button, users (also known as Explorers), are connected to remotely-located, highly-trained agents." The agents can then guide the Explorers on functional tasks through a video chat. Pretty cool. I think there is a free trial, but multiple call-backs might be possible as long as it takes under 5 minutes.
