About Tannalynn Neufeld, MS, CCC-SLP

As the founder and lead consultant at Summit AAC & Autism Support, I am dedicated to person-centered, compassionate, and effective care for communicators and families. I strive to meet all learners and families where they are and to create and execute coaching and therapeutic plans that are meaningful and realistic. Every learner, caregiver, and professional brings strengths to the journey of enhancing connection and communication, and I think it is my calling to help reveal and build upon those strengths through the coaching and therapeutic process.

I have over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults with complex communication and learning needs.  As a speech therapist, I have gained valuable competence in supporting families and educational teams in helping these individuals reach their goals. In addition to my clinical experience, I have a well-rounded resume that includes coaching, training, and consultation in the areas if Autism, child development, and AAC.  I have presented nationally on best practices in supporting complex communicators and have been active in teaching at the professional development and higher education levels.  Learn more about my work and training here.
