Haley Carlborg, Seattle WA, Speech-Language Pathologist specializing in AAC

Haley Carlborg, MS, CCC SLP

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

For more than 8 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. I take a playful, person-led approach that encourages self-advocacy, real connection, and the joy of being understood.

With experience as an 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 of all ages from preschool through high school. I bring expertise, creativity, and a practical approach - I’d love to be part of your child’s team!
