Have you dreamed of starting a coffee cart “business” to improve functional communication opportunities for your students? Nicole, one of our incredible SLPs, worked with her SDC teacher, Courtney, to create the cheery cart above. They cruise through the halls with students at the helm, fulfilling orders entered using a QR code. Students pre-plan the drinks using their AAC devices. Authentic social-communicative customer service interactions, peer collaboration, and good coffee. WOW!
Have you always wanted to get this started at your site? Nicole has generously shared their recipe for success, including inventory and methodology. The school district has already featured the cart on their social media. Kudos to Nicole and Courtney!
