- Does your child have a strong desire to communicate but cannot be easily understood?
- Is your child non-speaking (non-verbal)?
- Are you curious about the use of technology for communication?
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is often incorporated into speech therapy to help express thoughts, wants and needs without relying on verbal communication.
It is not always used to replace verbal speech production but to enhance the overall communication skills of an individual. This may include sign language, symbols or pictures, or use of technology.
At Achieve Therapy Centre we can help determine if AAC would be appropriate for your child. If appropriate, we can implement the AAC system that is best for you and your child’s needs. We can also work with your child’s current AAC system to bolster how they are already communicating.
We believe children should have access to robust communication systems so they can communicate to their fullest capacity.
