Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

Unlock a World of Communication with AAC

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) bridges the gap for those who find speaking a challenge. Whether temporary or lifelong, AAC offers a voice to those who need it most.

Helping Every Voice Be Heard

AAC empowers individuals of all ages—from children to adults—who have difficulties with spoken or written language. Whether due to autism spectrum disorders, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or other conditions, AAC provides a reliable means to express thoughts, wants, feelings, and ideas.

How Does AAC Work?

Flexible Communication Solutions

AAC employs a diverse range of tools and methods that can be tailored to each individual's needs. From tangible objects and gestures to picture boards and speech-generating devices, AAC can both supplement and compensate for communication challenges.

Examples of AAC Tools:

  • Manual signs and gestures
  • Finger spelling
  • Tangible objects and line drawings
  • Picture and letter communication boards
  • Speech-generating devices such as IPAD
