Early Reviews:
"In a world of empirical data, best practice paradigms and webinar announcements we are far too rarely given an opportunity to hear the stories of those who drive the innovation and provide leadership fueling our profession. Yet these stories are a nexus connecting us all by being fantastic and unique and at times strikingly similar to our own. The AAC champions in this volume tell their stories with a grace and vulnerability that will inspire you to breathe freely, elevate your gaze, and step forward with purpose, fulfillment, and a very real connection to all AAC stakeholders."
Chris Gibbons PhD, CCC/SLP
Head of Smartbox Inc.

"After a year defined by distance, this book brings a sense of closeness with the people who have inspired me. A collection of fascinating, sometimes intimate, narratives from leaders in the field sharing their difficult moments, perseverance, and subsequent successes. Our shared loved of AAC provides people with voices – with this book they are heard worldwide." Charlie Danger MSc, OT/R, ATP
Occupational Therapist, Assistive Technology Expert
