Listen "The Ups and Downs of AAC: A Real-Life Perspective"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back for another episode of the Take AACtion podcast!
This week, we are joined by Hailea, a nurse, disability advocate, and host of the Brewed Differently Podcast, where she explores disability-related topics and promotes the message that different is good. Hailea and her husband, both nurses, homeschool their daughter Bella, who is autistic and has TNRC6B, a rare genetic disorder, along with Sensory Processing Disorder. Her passion for advocacy stems from growing up with a disabled sibling and now parenting a child with disabilities.
Hailea shares her family’s unique journey to discovering AAC and how her daughter’s system has evolved over time (1:38). She discusses the challenges of embedding AAC into daily life and the tools they’ve used to overcome these obstacles (16:23). Finally, she offers key insights from a parent’s perspective, including practical strategies for modeling beyond requesting (24:37).
