At Be ME Center, we believe everyone deserves a voice. AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) empowers individuals of all ages to express themselves. In our daily practice, we see firsthand how AAC supports autonomy, self-advocacy, and emotional regulation, while also building language, literacy, and meaningful connections between our staff and students. AAC is a supportive tool, not a last resort.

At Be ME Center, we lead with connection, model communication without pressure, and celebrate every way children express themselves—ensuring that speech development is meaningful and guided by each child’s unique voice.
When children feel safe, understood, and supported, they gain the confidence to explore communication in ways that feel natural to them. Every gesture, sound, or sign is a step forward—because every voice matters.

At Be ME Center, we encourage total communication. This means we accept, acknowledge, and honor both spoken and unspoken forms of communication. Whether it's a smile to show our happiness or a text message to a family member, we all use a variety of ways to express ourselves every day. When others notice and respond to any form of our communication, they help reduce stress and frustration while showing us that our perspective, experience, and autonomy are valued. One of the most effective ways to support language development is by focusing on connection—making sure each child feels seen, heard, and understood. Everyone has something to say; sometimes, we just need to be open to hearing it in a different way.

At Be ME, we consider how nonlinear development impacts the type and level of support our neurodivergent students need to navigate daily challenges. This strongly influences the accommodations we make for each student.

There’s no single “right” way to develop — each child follows a path shaped by their body, brain, and environment. That’s why development does not always appear as clear stepwise progressions of milestones.

Sometimes progress looks like pausing, shifting, or circling back. These aren’t setbacks. They’re signs of a system reorganizing and adapting.

The complexity of development means we must trust the child’s unique process and support their whole system, not just the visible skill, because progress is happening – even when it’s quiet.

Routines are a classroom tool used at Be ME Center to support a child's regulation, build confidence, and promote independence. By establishing daily patterns, we create a safe environment where students can thrive, focus, and develop essential life skills. It’s important to remember that routines are meant to be supportive, not rigid rules. They may need to be adjusted to accommodate students' unique experiences, prioritizing connection over compliance. This flexibility ensures each child feels seen, respected, and heard.

At Be ME, we celebrate independence — the opportunity for children to try things on their own and feel empowered to make choices guided by their own ideas and interests.

When we wait for children to explore, watch as they problem-solve, and wonder with them about how things work or why something happened, we create space for authentic growth. These quiet moments of patience and presence help children find joy in discovering what they can do for themselves.

By holding back our impulse to jump in, we open the door to collaboration, connection, and confidence. Independence isn’t rushed or forced — it’s nurtured when we trust the process.
