Amy Wilde - Halifax SLP
I am a multiply-neurodivergent speech language pathologist, providing strengths-based, person-directed speech and language therapy to children and adults in their homes and in community settings. The goal of my work is to help individuals communicate and connect with others in whatever ways are most natural and joyful to them, and to help communication partners understand, nurture, and celebrate all forms of communication and connection.

There are NO prerequisites to having access to a robust AAC language system. AAC users need access to the words to learn the words. And communication partners need access to the words to model and teach the words. Give them a full-size pot to play in, learn, and grow into!
Image is a quote from Stefanie Olson on the right to a robust AAC language system:
“If you put a plant in a really small pot, it will only grow so big. Think about an AAC system as a pot with dirt in it and you’re planting an individual in that environment. Is there room to grow? Is there room for that individual to meet their full growth potential in that little pot you’re putting them in?”
The quote is from the pre-conference session Stefanie presented with Naomi Herman at the 2023 AAC in the Cloud conference: https://www.aacconference.com/schedule.html
