As a prominent figure in education, she has an impressive list of academic publications and presentations. She is frequently invited as a resource speaker for seminars, workshops, and conventions in the Philippines and abroad.
Aclan is joined on the AIIAS campus by her husband, Nole Redentor Aclan, who holds an MA in Educational Administration and currently serves as the coordinator of the Center for English Language Learning at AUP. The couple has three children: Johanna Denice, who is preparing for her Physician Licensure Exam in April; Joshua Reden, a web developer and programmer, and his wife Joshleen; and Jaasiel Knowle, a ninth grader.
