Hannah presented to our group about AAC etiquette. She had such an engaging presentation! Hannah came very prepared and sent slides in advance of her presentation. She also shared great information while fielding questions from our group!

Hannah was a fantastic guest lecturer for my graduate course on AAC. She was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and very professional throughout the process. She created an informative and well-organized presentation and promptly shared the slides with me so I could distribute them to my students. Her insights were incredibly valuable, and she effectively answered all questions. My students especially appreciated hearing directly from an AAC user, which added a meaningful perspective to our discussion. I would highly recommend Hannah as a guest lecturer for any course on AAC, particularly when covering the assessment of AAC users.
