Won’t an iPad stop my child from talking?
It’s a common concern—but when used properly, AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) supports communication, it doesn’t replace it.
For many children, especially those on the autism spectrum, AAC can:
✔️ Help them express their needs and feelings
✔️ Reduce frustration from not being understood
✔️ Support language development—including spoken words
Tools like Proloquo2Go are just one part of the process—the real impact comes from how it’s introduced and used.
That’s where a speech pathologist plays a key role:
💙 Assessing if AAC is right for your child
💙 Choosing the right system for their needs
💙 Teaching both child and parents how to use it in everyday life
AAC isn’t about replacing speech—it’s about giving your child a way to communicate with confidence 💙🧡
Every child is different. AAC may not be suitable for all children. Speak to a qualified speech pathologist for personalised advice.
