2. IEP TIP/Important Date

Don’t let important dates get away from you. Plan dates for meetings so that you can be prepared to advocate when you need to. Stacy Hoaglund explains more in her video [2]. She is an advocate, mediator and life coach.

3. “Kick Ball for all” without frustration
Not all playing balls are meant for gate trainers but we found a product that can bring the fun of kickball, without the frustration. This one of a kind hover ball will slide right under your gate trainer with ease. It is a lightweight, disc-shaped plastic ball with a foam surround. Click to see it in action and watch the light show it provides.

4. Use your phone as a scanner (Turbo Scan)

At this time of year when school forms and documents need to be signed and returned…, we thought we would remind you about Turbo Scan [8]. The app allows you to use your cell phone as a scanner to save time and reduce stress, allowing you to get signed documents scanned, and emailed quickly. Watch the video for a demonstration on how easy it is to use.
