Get the friendly, easy-to-follow guidance you need to get started building your tech-savvy skills. I’ve created mini-lessons with an eye toward helping you get up and running quickly.

I invite you to learn from my 34+ years of experience as a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist, tech-entrepreneur, assistive technology specialist, and mother of four. I am always on the lookout for affordable solutions to help everyone- especially individuals who have attention, learning, literacy and communication challenges. I’ve taken what I have found to be the best apps, tips and tricks and have woven together an effective system for integrating them into your daily routines and life.
