The CCUSD Board of Education recognized October as Disability Awareness Month and read the Inclusion Proclamation at its October 13, 2026 meeting.
Putting the proclamation right into action, ‘Talker Tuesday’ was a success at La Ballona Elementary. Student Zion Contreras (fourth grade) shared a disability fact with the student body using his AAC device. Charlie Vila (fifth grade) shared the same message in Spanish.
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Some people have a hard time using their voice to talk, so they use an AAC device to help share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas. This opens a channel for communication, and can help kids connect.
