Augmentative & Alternative Communication

#StudentFirstToolsLast #PurposefulAT

Augmentative and Alternative Communication more commonly referred to as AAC is a range of strategies and tools to help people who may struggle with their speech or communication. AAC devices can be electronic and non-electronic and accessed through pointing or touching or through alternate access methods such as switches, eye gaze, or facial movements. Most AAC devices are highly specific and customized to meet the exact needs of the individual user so we encourage you to utilize our library to help determine what tool or tools can help your student communicate as effectively as possible in as many environments as possible.
