I'm an SLP, AAC specialist, and AT specialist, with a passion for bringing communication and literacy to all.
If I had to pick one word to describe the way most people react to hearing about AAC/AT for the first time, it would be "overwhelmed." And that is TOTALLY understandable! The acronyms alone...
But if I had one word to describe the effect of AAC/AT for the people who actually use it? Life-changing.
The AAC/AT resources I share here are the ones that I needed, and couldn't find, so I made them! Let me help you go from overwhelmed... to overjoyed at the difference you can make.
Professionals, I know what it's like to juggle multiple roles and an ever-growing caseload. If you are struggling to get everything done, you are not alone, and I can help. Parents, I know that you play a key part in your child's AAC journey, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Have you ever gotten the feeling that things move too slowly in the world of AAC and AT?
Me too!
It can take such a long time to...
attend all the conferences and trainings you need
write the endless reports and paperwork you are responsible for
develop a new program for your district or organization
get a device into a child's hands for the first time
feel like you actually know what you're doing
... let me help you get there faster!
What others are saying about AAC Coaching & Courses with me!
Brianna is a passionate and highly-skilled clinician. Her AAC experience and clinical acumen are impressive. Her coaching approach is nurturing and intentional. She listens and understands how to support a wide variety of students including those complex cases which I needed extra support in. Working with Brianna helped me improve my practice and skill set and I felt more prepared to support the students and teams on my caseload. She always provided additional resources for learning which I really appreciated. And, above all, she is so incredibly kind, patient and an all around joy to work with!
I accepted a position as the AAC specialist at my school and I eagerly jumped on it. I’ve always wanted to specialize in this field and now was my opportunity. I registered for ASHA in hopes of soaking up all things AAC. I attended my first session with Brianna Hughes and I just had to work with her. I stayed after the session and picked her brain. She is incredibly knowledgeable and a true expert in the area. From there, I started working with her as my coach and the experience is invaluable, not only as a professional but for my school’s growing program. I’m so grateful our paths crossed.”
Brianna has dedicated years to developing supports for AAC users and families, and her passion speaks for itself in the quality and thoughtfulness of her work. She has an exceptional ability to break down her wealth of information into easily digestible content, with achievable strategies to support an AAC user in both their home and classroom environments. Her trainings are always researched based, enthusiastic, and well-paced. She does an exceptional job of listening to the concerns of an AAC support team with compassion and without judgment, and collaborates with the the team to put realistic plans into place. I’ve learned the bulk of my AAC knowledge from Brianna, and it’s made me a more confident, neurodiversity affirming therapist, for which I will be forever grateful!
