About me
Lisa Mihalich Quinn, M.A / M.Ed. is a licensed special educator with more than 15 years of experience making academic content accessible for neurodiverse students and learners who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). She is a former Maryland Public Schools teacher and the founder of Reach Every Voice, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals with communication access needs, and cofounder of Communication for Education, an online training program for people who support students using text-based multimodal communication in educational settings.
Lisa's passion for inclusion and equity runs deep, driving her work to help educators, learners, and families think creatively about how to reimagine systems that are historically resistant to change. She pushes folks to shift mindsets from "this is just how we do things"' and "we can't because..." to embody a spirit of "what if we tried..."
Lisa trains individuals, groups, and schools in the U.S. and around the world to incorporate best practices for supporting AAC users in inclusive settings, empowering all learners to access rigorous academic instruction in classrooms with their peers.
