AAC & Augmentative Communication
Support communication through all modalities — devices, sign language, picture boards, and more.
What Is AAC?
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is any method that helps someone communicate beyond spoken words. Whether your child uses a speech-generating device, picture boards, sign language, or a combination of methods, we support their unique communication style.
AAC is not a replacement for speech — it's a tool to help your child express themselves, make choices, and connect with others. Many children who use AAC also develop spoken speech over time.
Is This Right for Your Child?
Your child might benefit from AAC support if they:
- •Have limited or no spoken speech
- •Use or are learning to use speech-generating devices
- •Benefit from visual supports or picture communication
- •Use sign language or other communication methods
- •Need support combining multiple communication strategies

We explore different AAC methods — devices, picture boards, sign language, or combinations — to find what works for your child.
Train Your Family
We teach your child how to use their AAC method and train family members and caregivers to support them consistently.
