Biography
Katie Gibbs, M.Ed - Assistive Technology, was born with cerebral palsy and started using AAC at the age of 10. Her first AAC system was a Dynavox 2000. She was then introduced to Proloquo2Go at the age of 16. She uses AAC primarily to communicate with the unfamiliar listener, or if she has to present information intelligibly in a limited amount of time. In 2024, she obtained her Master's in Assistive Technology from George Mason University, with a passion for helping others find the right technology and tools that enable them to live successful, independent lives.
