Professional History

Jennifer C. Buxton, MA, OTR/L, ATP, MAT is a registered and licensed Occupational Therapist and certified Assistive Technology Professional within the Augmentative Communication Program (ACP) at Boston Children’s Hospital. Jennifer assesses and implements alternative access technologies for augmentative communication solutions, with focus on alternative computer, environmental and educational technologies. Jennifer also works in her private consulting practice, Assistive Technology Partners, providing school based AT Services, and is the Program Coordinator for the Assistive Technology Certificate Program at Tufts University, teaching multiple AT related courses to OT and engineering students. She has presented nationally and internationally at ATIA, ISAAC, ATAAC, RESNA, and WFOT.

I strongly believe that those with complex communication needs and motor profiles can benefit from exploring assistive technology and augmentative communication options to increase their active participation and engagement in daily activities across settings in home, school, work, and community life.
