Maria Ares, MS, CCC-SLP, ATP
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist and Assistive Technology Professional working at Needham Preschool. I am passionate about working with children with complex communication needs and finding a voice for all students no matter how that voice comes out. In AAC therapy, I use a play-based, child-led approach and my first priority is to find a child's motivation. In AAC coaching, I work with staff and students on strategies that support learning and social connection and that increase opportunities to participate in meaningful communication across settings.
