Welcome to an abbreviated version of #ATchat. It’s a great time to give thanks in honor of Thanksgiving tomorrow. We have three questions about the topic of sharing and feel free to add anything else you are thankful for at this time of year.
A1: Thankful for my friend @kbehnke Thx for taking a chance on me 20 yrs ago & bringing me onto the CSUN AT certificate program and hoping I would be good at this whole "talking AT in front of large groups" thing! #ATchat
A1: Thankful for my #ATchat partner in crime @KarenJan ! I enjoy this chat so much each week and I am honored to be part of connecting our AT #PLN to foster learning and sharing
A1: Thankful for @CIOK12 and Sue M. Who 8 years ago co-created the AT Specialist position. Grateful for their guidance and support in what was uncharted territory! #atchat

A1 My sweet coworkers in Lindale, TX and my wonderful Principal! I learn so much from them daily. This is my 21st year in education, and 17 have been in Lindale.
A1 - also, I'm thankful that this Twitter tool thing is around. I joined in 2007 and it has transformed my thinking and broadened by PLN beyond anything I could ever imagine! #ATchat
Thanks for the mention @Shaun_SLP & the reminder about #ATchat! I also want to thank @PrAACticalAAC for the wonderful contributions she's made to the #AugComm world & @BronwynHemsley especially lately for her advocacy on evidence based practice.
