AAC What?
Augmentative and alternative Communication or AAC includes all forms of communication. Other than oral speech that are used to express thoughts, wants, needs,opinions and ideas. Many of our students with severe speech or language problems rely AAC systems to supplement their speech. There are many different kinds of AAC systems available to help our students increase their communication skills. AAC users should not stop oral speech or therapy but use the AAC aids or devices to enhance their communication abilities. AAC systems should be personalized to meet the needs of each student.

Our AT Team is always learning. We love to teach others about new technology! We are always try out new things. Technology is evolving all the time. We use a lot of different tools to assess students for AAC. It is not a one size fits all process. Sometimes we have to try many different types of devices until we find the right fit. Some times children will move from one type of device to another too. As they grow and learn their needs change too.
