Earlier this year, we lost our dear friend, mentor, and leader, Diana, after her courageous battle with breast cancer. We remember her every day, but especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 💖

This October, our PTS family came together to celebrate Diana’s life and the joy she brought to all of us. In Brandon we hosted a Bunco night, one of her favorite games, where current and former staff shared laughter, stories, and memories of her. In Lakeland, we gathered for a special breakfast in her honor, complete with some of her favorite foods.

Diana’s legacy continues to bloom across PTS — at each of our clinics, you’ll find a butterfly garden dedicated to her memory. We invite our patients, families, and staff to visit these gardens often, to reflect, remember, and be inspired by her strength and kindness. 🦋

This October, we honor Diana by spreading awareness, hope, and support for all those affected by breast cancer. 💗

If you’d like to make a difference, PTS has set up a fundraiser in Diana’s memory benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Together, we can continue her legacy of care, compassion, and courage.

Don't forget, next week! 🎃

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) includes all the ways people communicate besides talking out loud; like pictures, gestures, sign language, speech-generating devices, or communication boards.

💡AAC Facts:
•AAC can be used by children and adults
•AAC does not stop someone from learning to talk, it can actually help speech develop
•AAC gives people a voice, builds confidence, and supports independence

🚫Common Myths (and the truth):
•Myth: AAC is only for nonverbal people
Fact: AAC supports anyone with communication challenges
•Myth: AAC will stop someone from talking
Fact: AAC actually encourages verbal speech
•Myth: They're too young for AAC
Fact: You're never too young (or too old) to start communicating

📲Why keeping AAC layouts consistent matters:
Imagine opening your phone to check TikTok or Instagram, but the app isn't where it usually is. You swipe, search, hesitate.. it slows you down.
Now imagine you're trying to express a feeling or need and every time, the buttons are in a different place.
For AAC users, changing icon or word locations makes communication harder. It's not just about convenience, it's about their voice. Consistent layouts support motor planning, build confidence, and help communication flow more naturally.
Keep it consistent. Keep it accessible. Keep it empowering.

Let's celebrate communication in ALL forms this October, happy national AAC month! 🗣️
