Narrative

Kara Morrison-Smith is a speech-language pathologist and autism spectrum disorder clinical specialist. In her role as Director of Partnerships and VIS, Kara works collaboratively with Dr. Howard Shane from Boston Children’s Hospital on the implementation and expansion of the Visual Immersion System (VIS). As a member of ACP leadership, she consults with clinical teams, collaborates with schools, and develops external partnerships related to the VIS. Decreasing the time it takes for evidence-based practice to be implemented is part of what has driven Kara in her career. In an effort to achieve this forward momentum, Kara emphasizes cross-discipline collaboration, and has presented at ASHA, OCALICON, Milestones, and other conferences on AAC and research-to-practice topics. In addition to the work she does at ACP, Kara serves as a reviewer for the journal TEACHING Exceptional Children.
