Why I created AAC Partner
AAC Partner grew out of more than 20 years as a special education teacher supporting students with complex communication needs. Throughout those years, one need kept showing up: communication partners wanted practical guidance for everyday moments—not just how AAC works, but what to do when communication feels confusing, overwhelming, or hard.
That need became even clearer as I began working directly with families, educators, and support teams as an AAC consultant. AAC Partner was created to provide simple, real-world support through bite-sized guidance, encouraging support, and practical strategies that help communication partners feel more confident using AAC in daily life.
Our Approach
AAC Partner provides evidence-informed education and practical support. The guidance is informed by current AAC research, established professional practices, neurodiversity-affirming principles, and real-world experience.
Every person who uses AAC is unique. AAC Partner is intended to complement—not replace—individualized guidance from a speech-language pathologist or other qualified professional.
