I am a special education teacher supporting students with diverse communication needs, including AAC users and students with higher support needs.

Experience
I am a special education teacher supporting students with diverse communication needs, including AAC users and students with higher support needs.
My experience spans self-contained and inclusive settings, with a focus on embedding communication throughout the day. I also bring the perspective of a parent to a child with complex communication needs, which informs the way I design each resource.
Teaching style
My approach is grounded in the belief that behavior is communication and that all students benefit from access to language-rich environments.
I prioritize modeled communication, regulation-aware support, and interest-led engagement over compliance-based systems.
You don’t need to be an AAC expert to begin—these resources are designed to support small, meaningful shifts that build over time.
Awards & shining teacher moments
The most meaningful moments in my work are not awards, but student outcomes—communication, connection, and participation that become possible with the right supports.
Equally impactful are the moments when teachers shift their perspective and begin to see communication as something to model and share.
My own education history
My background is in special education, with a focus on communication development, AAC, and neuro-affirming practices.
My learning is ongoing and shaped by research, collaboration, and lived experience.
Additional biographical information
These resources are designed to make language accessible in real, everyday classroom moments—not just on paper.
They are practical, visually clear, and built to help teachers move from having visuals available to using them meaningfully to support communication, engagement, and connection.
Because small shifts in how we support communication can lead to meaningful, lasting change.
