I help families and professionals see communication differently.
Hi, I’m Kim.
For more than a decade, I've shared the real-life experiences, practical strategies, and lessons our family's journey has taught us about Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC), literacy, and belonging.
What began as one mother's search for answers has grown into a place where families and professionals can learn together—bridging the gap between professional recommendations and real-life implementation.
Whether you're a parent, educator, therapist, or student, I hope you'll find encouragement, practical ideas, and a deeper belief in what's possible when every person is given meaningful opportunities to communicate and learn.

Three interconnected pillars that anchor my perspective, writing, and advocacy.
Communication
I believe language acquisition using AAC thrives when centered in relationships, immersion, and participation in everyday life.

Literacy
I believe literacy is the base for language development and AAC learning. Language is built through meaningful reading and writing.
Foundations
I believe in creating family and learning cultures where communication and literacy can flourish.

“Kim possesses the unique gift of story-telling. She uses this gift both as a writer and as an on-stage presenter. While using poignant words to relay her personal experiences as a parent and educator, Kim captures the hearts and minds of the audience.
By making her stories engaging, Kim creates a connection with the audience that allows them to understand her experiences as an advocate and empathize with her journey to provide authentic communication access to her son.
I’ve seen this engagement with audiences small and large - varying from college students to an auditorium of professionals. Across all settings, her message is genuine and respectful. This allows the audience a peek behind the scenes to better understand life with a medically complex child who relies on AAC."
