Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC)
Empowering Communication Through AAC Tools & Support
For children who face significant speech challenges, AAC opens a world of connection. We help your child communicate their needs, thoughts, and feelings — in the way that works best for them.
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.
