"Jessica was easy to work with. She gave us several options and communicated with us every step of the way. We didn't know what we needed until we worked with her!"

"Outstanding! Outstanding! Outstanding! Great presentation of setting up and steps to implementing AAC. Always awesome to learn from Jessica Conrad!"

"I really liked how Jessica explained everything and gave us suggestions. I feel that she is really helping us with ideas for the one student plus giving us strategies that we can try with other students."

"This was the best consultation I could ever ask for... I most certainly plan to have many more consultations for students on my caseload!"

"The consultation was very informative and interactive. I especially liked Jessica's explanation of the vocabulary systems we were considering and all the resources she provided to help us in our process of making the right choice for our students."

"My student's mom was very excited after the meeting. She stated it was very helpful. I know in the past when her son was younger she did not feel supported due to lack of training from previous professionals. She was happy with this training."

"Jessica has a wealth of knowledge! She showed the many AAC options that we could take advantage of. She has listed some classroom strategies and low tech options that can coupled with AAC devices to help promote the growth of students."

"Jessica did an amazing job with explaining the set up of the AAC device and how to execute the functions."
