Lisa G. Flowers has been a licensed and certified speech language pathologist for over thirty years, currently working with high school students.
Throughout her career, she has developed and constructed original educational and speech language therapy materials. She discovered a need for more engaging and effective materials for her students than what was and is currently available in stores, catalogs, or on websites. Her colleagues, including teachers, social workers, psychologists, and fellow speech language pathologists, use the worksheets, activities, handouts, and board games she developed, and report great success with their students, whether working on comprehension, grammar, writing skills, life skills, or social skills.
Lisa has conducted presentations on her educational and speech language therapy materials to other schools from grades three and up, and has consistently been met with enthusiastic reviews.

From Tanya Acquista, M.A., C.C.C.-S.L.P., Speech Language Pathologist:
As a speech-language pathologist working with high schoolers, I constantly face the challenge of finding therapy materials that are both relevant and effective. Luckily, I discovered Communication Acceleration, which has been a game-changer for me. They offer a variety of resources that cater to all my students' language needs, including receptive, expressive (verbal and written), and pragmatic skills. Their worksheets, activities, and lessons cover a wide range of areas. Thank you to Communication Acceleration for these phenomenal resources!
From Sherri Bordoff, L.C.S.W., Clinic Director of The Summit School:
I have worked with Ms. Flowers for several years now and in that time I have found her to be a creative, intelligent, compassionate professional whose commitment to her clients has always been the motivating force behind her work. Therefore, all of the hands-on material that she has created to teach, support, and reinforce social communication and social skills concepts have enabled the professionals that I have worked with to home in on the specific skills that their students need in a way that enhances their students' learning and growth. They are also motivating because they are fun even for our more “cynical” adolescents who can be hard to engage. Therefore, I highly recommend all of her materials because I know that they have made a difference in our clients' lives.
From Heidi Lobelson, M.A., C.C.C.-S.L.P., Speech Language Pathologist:
Communication Acceleration materials are the best I have ever found in my 35 years of working with socially challenged middle and high school students. As a speech language pathologist working with students who struggled both socially and emotionally, I found these resources to be extremely helpful. Ms. Flowers covers areas that are critical for students who are working to improve their social skills. Her lessons target specific areas such as perspective taking, making a good first impression and non-verbal communication. Her activities are fun, target exact skills and are highly relatable. I fully recommend the lessons from Communication Acceleration and am so grateful to have found this valuable resource.
