Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

AAC includes different ways of communicating that children use alongside or instead of speech. This might include signing, picture symbols, communication software or voice output devices.

AAC reduces frustration, builds confidence, supports learning and helps children take part in social interactions. It also helps others understand what the child is trying to say.
