Lana is a mom, software developer, and fierce advocate who created Q-Voice, an AAC system built out of love, frustration, and deep understanding. When her daughter Quinn struggled to connect through traditional speech apps, Lana and her husband decided to build something better—something intuitive, visual, and human.
In this episode, we talk about:
The real-life limitations of traditional AAC systems
How Q-Voice uses GIFs, emojis, and real-world icons to keep learners engaged
Built-in data tracking that actually helps shape speech goals
The AI feature that speeds up sentence formation and keeps communication flowing
Why parent involvement and design simplicity are key to AAC success
Whether you’re a parent, SLP, or educator, this episode is full of hope and practical inspiration for making communication easier—and more fun—for everyone.
