STAY SAFE

Without a doubt, the term or phrase of the year will be social distancing. Or maybe we should say physical distancing. We do need to maintain a safe physical distance from others, with the recommended six feet apart. We are in an ever-changing environment with this pandemic, so please adhere to CDC guidelines as well as national, state and local policies when it comes to their recommendations. Check out recommendations for assistive technology users here.
