Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

AAC referes to methods, strategies, and tools used to help individuals who have difficulty communicating through speech and / or writing. AAC systems can support, or replace speech, and can be used by people with various communication challenges, sich as those with speech impairments, developmental delays, neurological conditions, or physical disabilities.

Importantly, AAC helps individuals express their thoughts, needs, and ideas, enabling them to participate more fully in social, educational, and professional environments. This valued resource also provides individuals better self-advocacy in health and care settings.

A comprehensive AAC assessment is often the starting point to determine the most suitable tools and strategies to achieve speech and communication goals. With personalised therapy and AAC training, for the individual and their family or caregivers, AAC systems can be highly successful.

Everyone's communication journey is unqiue - and we are here to support every stage of that journey. If you or someone you care about could benefit from AAC, please submit a referral or contact our team.
