Bio
I am a speech language pathologist working with people who have complex communication needs and use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and assistive technology (AT) to communicate. This means I support adults and children who are non-speaking (or can’t use their voice to meet their daily needs) and need another way to communicate. Most often, these people require the use of picture symbols, communication books, speech generating devices, apps, and/or other technologies to help them communicate. Depending on the person’s physical abilities, they may use their hands, eye gaze, mouse emulation, switches, or other alternative access methods to use their communication tools. Ultimately, these communication tools allow people to actively participate in their own lives because they can say whatever they want, to whoever they want, whenever they want! I also work with children and young adults with complex instructional support needs who are developing literacy and writing skills and require technologies and/or systems for written output because they cannot hold a traditional pencil.
