Atypical Living
Helping individuals with diverse abilities navigate and thrive in a complex world
AAC resources, life skills supports, social communication activities, advocacy apparel, and enrichment experiences designed to encourage independence, self-expression, and engagement.
Hi! I’m Tricia.
I’m a speech-language pathologist who creates AAC, life skills, emotional awareness, and social communication resources for educators, therapists, caregivers, and individuals with communication and learning differences.
Through Atypical Living, I also offer advocacy apparel and interest-based enrichment experiences focused on self-expression, confidence, and meaningful engagement.
I believe meaningful learning starts with connection, personalization, and individual interests.
