What is AAC?

Finding the Right Voice — Even Without Spoken Words

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) includes tools and techniques — from picture boards to high-tech devices — that give children a reliable way to express themselves.

Low-Tech AAC

Communication boards, picture cards, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), and gestures.

Mid to High-Tech AAC

Speech-generating devices (SGDs), tablet-based communication apps, and customized AAC systems.

Custom AAC Planning

We assess your child’s unique communication needs and build a plan around what will truly work for them.

Family Training & Support

We guide parents and caregivers every step of the way to ensure success beyond the therapy room.

Children can make choices, ask for help, and share their thoughts — all on their own terms.

AAC builds confidence in communicating with peers and adults in daily settings.

Academic Inclusion
