All Voices Heard!

Thanks to support from the WHAS Crusade for Children, EKU’s College of Education and Applied Human Sciences is expanding access to assistive technology through the ALL Voices Heard project. With $8,000 in new AAC and adaptive tools, we’re enhancing communication, learning, and independence for children across our clinical and educational programs.

From devices like the Grid Pad and Proloquo2Go to switch-adapted toys for early learners, these tools are making a real impact—not only for the children and families we serve, but also for EKU students gaining hands-on experience and clinical confidence.

When we invest in access, we open the door for connection, inclusion, and opportunity.

Dedication that goes far beyond the classroom ✨

Dr. Jade Robinson goes above and beyond to support our students and programs. From guiding seniors through hands-on experiences with kindergartners at EKU Model to coordinating graduate admissions and leading the CD program, her impact is everywhere.

Her dedication, long hours, and commitment to student success do not go unnoticed—and we are so grateful.
