Lance McLemore 

Lance McLemore is an ambassador for Prentke Romich Company and The Center for AAC and Autism. He has presented at several conferences. He got his first AAC device when he was about 24. In 2016 he started using an Accent 1000 from PRC. He found the first robust language system that allowed him to communicate quickly and fluently: LAMP Words for Life. He shares his experience and insight with this language system at conferences, workshops, trainings, universities, schools, and camps. He wants more people to be aware of AAC and the lives of people who use it.
