Our Mission

At CorePaths, we believe every child has something important to share.

Our mission is to help families and children discover meaningful ways to connect and communicate—through AAC, gestures, visuals, and every form of expression.

Driven by compassion and the belief in each child’s competence, we guide families through the journey of communication growth with empathy, expertise, and hope.

Our Vision

Our hope is for every child to be understood and every family to feel confident guiding their child’s communication journey.

About the Owner

Holly Stevens, M.A., CCC-SLP

From an early age, I understood how hard it can feel when your thoughts and feelings aren’t fully heard. That experience—and the incredible children I’ve met along the way—shaped my belief that every child deserves access to communication that truly reflects who they are.

As a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with experience across private clinics, early intervention, schools, hospitals (NICU and acute care), rehabilitation clinics, and skilled nursing facilities, I’ve seen firsthand that communication takes many forms. Some children use words, some use gestures, and others rely on AAC or a combination of supports. What matters most is that they are understood, respected, and given the opportunity to connect with the world around them.

Through CorePaths, my goal is to help families and children discover those pathways to connection—guided by compassion, collaboration, and the philosophy of presumed competence. Every partnership is built on professionalism, trust, and the shared belief that communication is not a privilege—it’s a right.
