I'm Haley, a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and founder of Say Their Way. I specialize in Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC).

For more than 9 years, I've helped children, teens, and young adults communicate with AAC, while coaching families and school teams to make communication part of everyday life. My approach is playful, child-led, and built around self-advocacy, real connection, and the joy of being understood.

With experience as both an SLP and assistive technology specialist, I have in-depth knowledge of AAC apps, programming, and implementation. I've trained professionals at over 20 schools, coached parents, and worked with kids and young adults from preschool through high school. I bring expertise, creativity, and a practical approach. I'd love to be part of your child's team.
