This is what health care professionals are saying about [My Special Aflac Duck](http://aflacchildhoodcancer.org/myduck.cfm)®:

“These ducks are a wonderful way to help ease the minds of our youngest patients who are going through therapy. The ducks are programmed to communicate emotion. Through playing with the duck, children can communicate what they are thinking and what their needs are at any given moment. What a terrific tool and wonderful toy to help us better care for our children!" - Dr. William Slayton, Division Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at [UF Health Shands Children's Hospital ](https://www.facebook.com/ufhealthkids/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARBw0nmuFAKRf9vKBy-_Mo7bRfvof8P0NH22T0nY_cWLWrRp5AaO_oD3B1M27nLi137xXkwX9K2MbU8n&fref=mentions&__xts__[0]=68.ARD46OYguKyPSZiWR1fCcq8ob7BzGrgDJc5UlQrJ59H7tzAmTEVUoyrAo39vpNG7o0CH_m0eQmX-zqDaylDYZdxwiHt_xkB_lovDGIsrvUUGmFJ6Iv5cYmjS892P62kp1olCgBrftKFUbTiU2s2sG2cWoU3P4b8xIF8_9usqR--UvHjTYi2mj6OQvYPMBm9B78GJhbaL3c-4kJdD_642baW1gOFtLB67j4bzwLc3OKos5PsqmUglXeGTz8h8gU5V04kjSSJFkAhnkCaboWqAcga9fwcSsB5fIkWCulCsjS-7BBbIytQ-O1njzH7dp2e8aES6DA9bQsAe6yyE8g)at the [University of Florida](https://www.facebook.com/uflorida/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARA6HrC4WkZn33IiZD-hL3m3x3Uqdyn9kkIvxvWZN0J1qJP7vhpf-0wWGXcpwaComyRfTAJpt0xLdpC_&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARD46OYguKyPSZiWR1fCcq8ob7BzGrgDJc5UlQrJ59H7tzAmTEVUoyrAo39vpNG7o0CH_m0eQmX-zqDaylDYZdxwiHt_xkB_lovDGIsrvUUGmFJ6Iv5cYmjS892P62kp1olCgBrftKFUbTiU2s2sG2cWoU3P4b8xIF8_9usqR--UvHjTYi2mj6OQvYPMBm9B78GJhbaL3c-4kJdD_642baW1gOFtLB67j4bzwLc3OKos5PsqmUglXeGTz8h8gU5V04kjSSJFkAhnkCaboWqAcga9fwcSsB5fIkWCulCsjS-7BBbIytQ-O1njzH7dp2e8aES6DA9bQsAe6yyE8g).
