Since my daughter is verbal, I didn’t even think of AAC as an option. Working with Sarah helped me understand how AAC can help Mary expand on what she already says and help her when she’s frustrated. Sarah also assisted my family in navigating the process of acquiring an aac device through the district. Although school gave us a small training, it was really Sarah who helped us set up my daughter’s newly acquired AAC device. She helped customize and personalize for Mary as well. The key element that we had been missing was implementation. She opened my eyes to the fact that my daughter is a Gestalt Language Processor and assisted us in recognizing her gestalts and in programming them. My daughter responds to the modeling so well now!

Sarah has been an amazing resource for both my students and their parents. Her expertise in AAC devices, both in evaluation and treatment, is unmatched. Sarah has helped guide my students to receive the appropriate technology through thorough evaluation of students access abilities. Sarah’s knowledge and expertise of low to high technology devices across different products make her an asset to each students individualized communication needs. Sarah ensures both students and parents are involved in this process and creates a team environment for her clients. Sarah has gone above and beyond to help parents navigate implement AAC for both educational and home environments. Sarah’s patience and support in parent education is unrivaled and it has been an honor to collaborate with her to help students become better communicators.

I had the privilege of meeting Sarah on a case where she was performing an AAC evaluation. She was thorough in her approach to assessing the student and answered all questions posed to her clearly. Once the device arrived, she provided hands on training to myself and other professionals working with the student. She was patient and knowledgeable in her approach especially with the parents. I would highly recommend her for an evaluation as well as follow up support.

We are so grateful for Sarah!! Her advice on how to support my child's speech in her day to day life and thoughts on assistive technology have been invaluable. We are lucky to have her on our team.
