Augmentative & Alternative Communication<\/strong><\/h1>

(AAC)\"\"<\/strong><\/h1>

Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC<\/span>) is the term for all the ways we communicate without talking.\u00a0 Augmentative communication is a style of communication that you use when you have the ability to speak but need help to make your message clearer.\u00a0 Alternative communication is used when you are unable to be understood or speak.\u00a0 If you have a condition that causes you to have difficulty expressing yourself then augmentative and alternative communication (AAC<\/span>) may be a solution. \u00a0Some AAC<\/span> users benefit from some form of assistive technology like a speech generating device.\u00a0 However, \u00a0there are other methods like a manual board with pictures\/symbols\/letters to make your message heard.<\/p>

Those who benefit include those with:<\/strong><\/p>

  • Strokes<\/li>
  • Autism<\/li>
  • Cerebral palsy<\/li>
  • Head injury<\/li>
  • Genetic syndromes<\/li>
  • Hearing impairment<\/li><\/ul>

        Typically, a combination of aided and unaided devices\/techniques are utilized by AAC users to communicate their message.\u00a0 To avoid wasted time and money, a team of specialists (speech\/language, technology specialist, etc.) should assess your needs as a critical first step.\u00a0 They can guide you to putting together the right pieces so you can be heard.<\/p>

        Paying for AAC devices:<\/p>

        • Grants<\/li>
        • Self-pay (out of picket)<\/li>
        • Local school district after an assistive technology evaluation<\/li>
        • Rental agreements<\/li>
