Atypical Living
Helping individuals with diverse abilities navigate and thrive in a complex world
Speech-language therapy, 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 provides individualized speech-language therapy and creates AAC, life skills, emotional awareness, and social communication resources for educators, therapists, caregivers, and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and other communication differences.
Through Atypical Living, I also offer interest-based enrichment experiences and advocacy apparel designed to support self-expression, confidence, communication, and meaningful engagement.
I believe meaningful learning starts with connection and personalized experiences rooted in each individual's interests.
