Social Stuff: Meet Me at the Playground
A conversation adventure that starts with the student's preferences.
Students choose who to practice with and what matters to them. As the exchange unfolds, they can watch a message route, get one step of support, explore on their own, or use their actual AAC system.

This is a working prototype. Learner feedback will guide the next version.
Starting with a thoughtfully investigated learner profile—including strengths, growth edges, preferences, and values—I develop learning experiences that serve as a bridge, making concepts, learning targets, and expectations accessible to the learner.
About Bintu
I love language.
And the possibilities it opens for learning, connection, and being understood.

10 years of listening closely, building access, and learning alongside learners, families, and educators across clinical and educational settings.
My mom, Linda, was an educator and a creative. She sent me to writing workshops and encouraged me to enter poetry slams. I learned early how much one word can change what someone sees or understands.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked alongside learners, families, and educators as a speech-language pathologist. I’ve supported complex communication needs, coached caregivers, and helped teams bring communication supports into everyday practice.
That work shapes how I design. I pay attention to what a person can already do, what matters to them, and where the experience makes participation harder.
Today, I bring that perspective to curriculum, interactive learning tools, and professional learning. I care about what happens when someone actually uses the experience—and I keep revising from there.
