Keys to Communication started from the need Bethany saw in her clinic based work. Many clients have a difficult time working in the clinic setting or have trouble using the skills they learned in "real world" environments. By seeing clients in their homes, Bethany is able to see how each individual's environment is arranged and help families and caregivers set the AAC user up for success. 

Her passion is to give everyone a voice in any way that meets their personal needs! Helping individuals communicate their needs, interests, sense of humor, and overall personality is what brings her joy.

She enjoys being outdoors enjoying the beautiful PNW, running, reading, and spending quality time with her amazingly supportive husband and young son.
