VALERIE CHAPMAN-JONES
In her 20+ year career as a speech-language pathologist, Valerie has primarily worked in school-based settings but also has experience in early intervention. Her passion is Augmentative-Alternative Communication (AAC). Valerie has extensive experience with exploring, trialing, and implenting no-, light-, and high-tech AAC supports with children with a range of disabilities including cerebral palsy, genetic syndromes, autism, and apraxia of speech. Valerieās goal is to help children with complex communication needs explore and find an AAC system that helps them become functional, independent communicators. Valerie believes that learning an AAC language system should be fun, not forced, and that speech therapy to teach AAC should focus on encouraging communication through novel, active language experiences. She also recognizes the critical role families play in trialing and implementing AAC to support their children.
