What is AAC?
Communication devices and tools that supplement or replace natural speech are known as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). AAC encompasses all of the ways that someone communicates besides talking. People of all ages can use AAC if they have trouble with speech or language skills.
Augmentative is you add to something or supplement it. Through augmentative communication, one is adding to natural speech such as sign language, letter boards, pictures, etc. It allows for individuals to provide more detail or clarity to the message they’re trying to communicate.
Alternative describes when an individual is unable to speak, therefore requiring different means of communication.
