In addition to sessions at our clinic, Team Vergara provides AAC therapy in natural environments, including the Child Development Lab at the McPhaul Center and Love Craft Athens.
The team also emphasizes home programs during each session, as AAC requires significant practice and a team approach. Moving therapy outside the walls of our clinic helps clients practice real-world communication while giving our graduate clinicians hands-on experience supporting meaningful interactions.

October is Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Awareness Month!

Exploring an AAC device by pressing buttons can be a valuable step towards independent AAC use. Just like babbling helps babies learn to talk, exploring buttons helps AAC users find their voice. 💙

Team Hines having some Halloween fun at Grace Arbor with director Lisa Hale. 🎃

Every Monday, graduate students, Livia, Natalia and Lilly have the opportunity to work with participants at Grace Arbor, a dementia respite day program, to strengthen language and communication skills.
This has been a wonderful learning experience with amazing staff and volunteers!
