AAC Mentor
AAC Mentor
Why do I do what I do?
I want to change the world. I like to help people. I don’t want people to go through what I have been through when I was young. I didn’t want to communicate when I was younger because I didn’t have models (people modeling AAC) and friends. I have a passion to do what I do. When I am able to see the successes of AAC users, I feel happy. When I go to conferences, it motivates me to practice and model better.
How do I spend my free time...
Spending time with my 10 year old son is one way I enjoy my free time. We like playing games, swimming, and watching shows together. I join Out and About and AZ Talks Together as a volunteer to get experience until they raise more money. I like to hang out with friends. I like to get pedicures. I love caramel frappes from Starbucks.
Why should you get in contact with me/how can I help you...
You can hire me to model AAC in your sessions. Tell me what your students favorite things are so we can talk about it. I can show everybody how to make sentences with AAC. I also model for SLPs and SLP students who want to learn about AAC.
