Empower AAC

09/01/2026

Rebeca Rebeca Carly from Uplift OT and I met through the parent support group she started. I’m a speech-language pathologist and she’s an occupational therapist, and we connected over our shared passion for neuroaffirming care and supporting the whole family. 💛

That connection sparked Sib Squad—a group we’re planning for kids in 2nd–5th grade who have a neurodivergent sibling. A space for games, snacks, honest conversations, and friendships with other kids who get it. Because siblings deserve space to feel heard and supported, too.

We’d love your honest feedback! Would this be helpful for your family? What would make it meaningful for your child, and what days and times would actually work?

Our interest form takes about two minutes, with no commitment to join. Your input will help us shape this group around what families need. 💛

New teachers. New classroom. New everything.

We made this free 1 page all about me resource with our friends at Uplift OT Rebeca Carly for the kids who get described before they get asked. Strengths, what helps, what's hard, how adults can show up.

Comment ALL ABOUT ME or DM and it's yours. 💛

YOU ASKED. WE LISTENED 💙

So many of you have asked about a sleeve, I am so excited to announce that they will be available to order in the next coming weeks 🤩

These are so handy and special because:

- Parents & caregivers can keep one with them as a backup communication option.

- First responders & paramedics could have one available when helping someone who is non-speaking, temporarily unable to speak, overwhelmed, injured, or experiencing a communication barrier.

- Nurses & healthcare workers could use one with patients who are unable to communicate verbally.

- Teachers, EAs & support workers could have another portable communication option available in classrooms, on field trips, or in the community.

They can travel with you, live in a purse, backpack, emergency kit, classroom, vehicle or work bag, you can take it off and hand it someone else!

I cannot wait to see where these sleeves end up and all the different people they might help communicate.

Because communication isn’t a luxury. It’s a human right 💙
