Steph Lackey is an occupational therapist who completed her Masters of Science degree in Occupational Therapy at Queen’s University in 2013. As an occupational therapist, Steph has worked in a range of settings, gaining experience serving diverse client populations including people impacted by neurodiversity, developmental disabilities, and serious mental illness. Her interest in AAC was inspired through her experience as an occupational therapist. Recognizing the value of AAC in the lives of many people for whom she provided service, she aspired to become better equipped in her practice to support use of AAC systems. Steph is working on her PhD in Rehabilitation Science at Queen’s University under supervision of Dr. Beata Batorowicz. Her doctoral work will focus on development of AAC accessibility guidelines.
