About Face2Face
Building empathy and understanding through immersive communication simulations designed by a speech-language pathologist.
Our Story
Face2Face grew out of a passion for helping others truly understand what it's like to face communication challenges every day.
After 17 years of working with children, families, and educators, our founder saw a recurring pattern: people wanted to help, but they struggled to grasp the frustration, isolation, and effort that comes with communication disorders.
The most powerful moments in training always came when someone could step into those shoes—even for just a few minutes. That's what Face2Face is all about: creating those moments of understanding that change how we communicate with and support one another.
