Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

AAC includes all the ways we share our ideas and feelings without talking.  People with severe speech or language difficulties may need AAC to help them communicate.  Our SLPs can assist in helping to get funding for AAC systems needed through evaluation and provide treatment in learning how to use the system functionally.  There is a spectrum of types of systems/devices with many different features. A thorough evaluation is needed in order to choose the correct system and features for an individual.
