Our organization wants to raise awareness and accessibility of AAC devices. We provide workshops and demonstrations for families and individuals with autism on how to operate and obtain augmented technology for communication. We intend to educate families, connect them to resources, and otherwise facilitate the process of managing autism.
Biographies:
Shane Myers
I am a senior at The Ohio State University majoring in Health Science with a minor in Psychology. I love card games, board games, most sports, and being around friends and family. I graduated high school knowing I wanted to help people in a healthcare setting. During my time in college I discovered my love of research and being in an academic setting where I get the chance to learn something new every day. My goal is to help people by educating them on their resources and putting them in contact with the proper healthcare services.

I am a member of the varsity synchronized swimming team and have won three national championships in my time here at Ohio State. After graduating, I plan on attending graduate school to become a speech-language pathologist. I hope to combine my knowledge of healthcare and speech science to work as a speech pathologist in a clinical setting.
