Nerissa C. Hall
Hi, I'm Nerissa.
I'm a mum, partner, daughter, friend, learner, leader, mentor, clinician, artist, and advocate. I'm also an AAC Specialist — and I love what I do.
This is where I think out loud about communication, access, participation, and the work of expanding what's possible.
Growth, Applied.
My experience as a practitioner, supervisor, author, and teacher is inseparable from my life as a parent, partner, daughter, and friend. The most meaningful professional growth I've done has always been connected to my personal life. This space is dedicated to exploring that connection.
I love to explore how to use innovative technology and thoughtful strategies not only to enhance our work, but also to enrich our lives — at the same time as those with whom we work. My goal is to move toward a more integrated, intentional way of living and working. Who you are is as important as what you do.
