About the store
Hi there! My name is Heather and I am a Speech Language Pathologist with over 10 years of experience. I support teens and adults with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities and their caregivers and quickly realized the lack of resources for this population. I love creating social stories and functional activities for adults with concrete language, appropriate images, and a narrative they can follow to adapt emotional learning, communication skills, and functional life skills into their daily lives!
