AAC Training, Education & Coaching for Schools, Professionals and Families

My mission is to break down communication barriers by empowering schools and professionals to support independent communication through AAC. I aim to simplify the AAC process and build confidence at every level.

Work with an AAC expert with over 30 years of experience supporting complex communicators

After working in schools as a speech-language pathologist, I was called to reduce the obstacles AAC users face by empowering the professionals who support them. 

Regular consults with adult AAC users ensure my trainings and consultation services are rooted in evidence-based practice and real-world applicability.

All services provided by North Shore AAC, LLC respect individuals' neurodiversity and sensory needs, We always consider the whole child.

TESTIMONIALS

"Michelle is always up with the newest research in regard to functional communication."

I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Michelle in my role as a special education teacher - learning LAMP Words for Life (trainings, consults, direct work with students) and providing LAMP family and staff trainings and support.

 

Michelle always goes above and beyond. She uses an individual's interests to gain functional communication. Michelle is always up with the newest research in regard to functional communication and implements new strategies and techniques to reach all individuals in the world of speech and language. Her positive attitude and calm demeanor allow her to build rapport with the clients as well as families.
