Lisa Mihalich Quinn
M.A., M.Ed., EMBA, ATACP

is a licensed special educator with nearly 20 years of experience making academic content accessible for neurodiverse students and learners who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). A former Maryland public schools teacher, she is the founder of Reach Every Voice, an organization advancing communication access for nonspeaking and partially speaking learners; co-founder of Communication for Education, an online training program for people who support students using text-based multimodal communication in educational settings; and co-founder of Adaptiverse, an AI-powered platform that helps educators create adapted grade-level lessons in minutes.

Lisa's work centers on inclusion, equity, and reimagining systems that have historically limited access for the learners she serves. She challenges educators and partners to shift from "this is how it's always been" to "what if we tried," opening new pathways for meaningful participation. She consults with IEP teams and trains individuals, schools, and organizations across the U.S. and internationally in best practices for supporting AAC users in inclusive settings, ensuring all learners can engage with rigorous academic instruction alongside their peers.
