Early Reviews:
"In a world of empirical data, best practice paradigms and webinar announcements we are far too rarely given an opportunity to hear the stories of those who drive the innovation and provide leadership fueling our profession. Yet these stories are a nexus connecting us all by being fantastic and unique and at times strikingly similar to our own. The AAC champions in this volume tell their stories with a grace and vulnerability that will inspire you to breathe freely, elevate your gaze, and step forward with purpose, fulfillment, and a very real connection to all AAC stakeholders."
