Awesome 👏

A classic reimagined, say hello to Unity® AAC on iOS!

It's the BIG news you’ve been waiting for!

Unity® AAC let's you say all that you want to say with the least amount of button hits!

The Unity AAC app reimagines Unity, the original core word vocabulary system with 1-Hit and Sequenced English files available in 28, 36, 60, and 84 button locations. Now with Unity available on iOS, even more people can achieve independent communication!

AAC Classes! — sending this for round 2 since I only got 4 responses last time!

We are beginning to plan our dates for our FREE, grant funded AAC classes for children and parents/caregivers here in Yuba City. I will attach a survey below. For those who are interested in attending, if you could fill out the brief survey, I would greatly appreciate it!

Sharing – if you could share the survey link with others, that would be amazing! Thank you so much. ❤️

Colors and numbers are not functional words!

Functional language is what helps kids connect, request, protest, and interact with the world around them. Let’s build communication that makes a difference! ❤️

This is a shout out for Krista Howard! She was a complete boss last week and delivered a 2 1/2 day training with myself and Brandi Lee Wentland in Las Vegas to a group of 160 educators. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive toward having her there and her input being invaluable. Today I sent her a message telling her that Alta Regional center approved our HCBS grant for her to come to California and help share her story with parents of non-speaking children in the Yuba-Sutter area. More details to come! I’ll update you all. She is also presenting at CSHA with us next March for the first time. Fun things ahead! 😀🎉

Krista is the first full-time AAC user to become a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA). She graduates with her bachelors degree in education next year.
