Book a Free 20-Min CallI'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.
My Approach
I believe the best AAC therapy happens when the adults around a kid learn to use AAC too - parents, teachers, babysitters, siblings, and everyone in the child's day-to-day. When we all get comfortable saying things the way we're asking our AAC user to say them, a few things start to shift. The AAC user sees their voice valued everywhere, the vocabulary grows in the ways it needs to, and communication stops being something that only happens in a therapy room.
That's the philosophy behind my practice and the reason I named it Say Their Way. More on what the name means to me →
