Lesley E. Mayne

Lesley Mayne is an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire (UWEC) in the Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) department, where she teaches graduate and undergraduate students in AAC and speech sound disorders. Her research specialties are in her teaching areas of autism spectrum disorders and pedagogy. Her practical clinical experience stems across the lifespan and allows her to bring authentic applications to her students. Teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level means her students are active learners and members of her research teams to guide the next generation of SLPAs, SLPs, professors, and researchers, which is consistent with the SLHS faculty at UWEC. In addition to Introduction to AAC (Plural Publishing, 2025), she co-authored AAC for Children With Complex Communication Profiles with Dr. Sharon Rogers (Routledge, 2020) and the first and second editions of Let’s Talk Social Skills (Routledge, 2019).
