As a boutique speech therapy practice,

AAC to Z offers highly personalized support tailored to each child’s unique communication journey. We provide expert guidance with care, flexibility, and focused attention. Our comprehensive services integrate Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Assistive Technology (AT), alongside evidenced-based speech therapy, to promote communication growth.

Whether you’re a parent of a child with communication needs or an educator, we are here to empower you with evidence-based strategies and interventions that support communication, literacy, and learning.

We believe communication is a journey, not a destination. Families deserve the tools and strategies to support their child’s communication skills throughout life. We are passionate about creating individualized therapy plans that actively involve families. Together, we’ll explore the benefits of speech and language therapy to help your child find their voice, build confidence, and develop meaningful connections.

For educators working to create inclusive learning environments, we offer professional development, customized speech therapy contracts, and tailored evaluation services. We’ll equip you and your team with the knowledge and strategies to integrate AAC and AT seamlessly into your classroom, using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to support all students while ensuring compliance with special education laws and upholding the principles of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).

At AAC to Z, collaboration between educators and families is essential. Let’s work together to cultivate communication—because access to education, literacy, communication, recreation, and vocation is a crucial step toward equitable opportunities for everyone.

Educators

Does your school district or organization serve children with complex communication needs? We can help! We offer customized professional development workshops and trainings designed to equip your educators and staff with the latest strategies and tools for fostering communication success in all students.

Our tailored workshops delve into the crucial roles you play in assessing and implementing Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), core vocabulary strategies, and Assistive Technology (AT) tools. These can be customized to support students' reading, writing, and math skills.

Or, do you need a skilled speech-language pathologist to work directly with students and teachers to model evidence-based AAC and therapeutic strategies? We also provide customized contracts and tailored evaluation services. We're flexible to meet your specific needs.

“I am a retired college professor now living full time in a developing country as a volunteer at a school teaching English as a Second Language and a center providing therapy for children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Meeting Sarah has been a boon to the volunteer work I’m engaged in. Sarah’s creativity for using core boards in a wide variety of settings has been helpful for all the children I serve. She’s been an incredible and creative problem solver.

Sarah’s current work speaks volumes about who she is as a professional: someone who quests to learn more in the name of serving her communities better. If I were to design “Sarah’s core board,” it would include the words intelligent, purpose-driven, solution-oriented, creative, and compassionate. If you are a parent, client, SLP, school personnel, or administrator, you need and want to partner with Sarah!”
