About Morgan Tyner:

Morgan Tyner, B.S., founder of ACCEPTS, Inc., has been a special needs educator with a focus on autism for over 10 years.  After graduating from Stetson University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, she taught and nurtured middle school students with autism in Duval County.  Morgan was introduced to Facilitated Communication (FC) in 2014 where she witnessed firsthand the intelligence trapped inside those with limited expressive language.
