Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC)
About AAC
Often, people with speech and/or motor disabilities are left in silence because they do not have the tools needed to communicate and participate in the world around them. AAC is any method (device, system, or technique) that helps a person with significant communication challenges communicate more effectively.
Examples include:
-
A student uses his or her communication device to answer a question in class.
-
Someone points to a picture of food on the menu at a restaurant.
-
At home, an adult uses an AAC device to call his or her doctor.
Communication isn’t just speech! It’s the process of giving and receiving information between people and can be achieved in many different ways.
