UNDERSTANDING AAC
Everyone has something to say.
AAC gives people more ways to communicate—and more opportunities to be understood.
What does AAC mean?
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. It includes all the ways someone communicates besides talking—from gestures and pictures to robust speech-generating apps.
AAC can augment speech
It can add to the speech someone already has, or offer an alternative when speech isn’t reliable.
Who can use AAC?
There is no single kind of AAC user. Children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, apraxia, genetic conditions, acquired injuries, and many other communication differences may benefit.
Three things worth knowing
AAC does not stop speech from developing.
There are no prerequisites for communication.
The best AAC is available everywhere a person needs it.
