And if your child is using AAC, it is especially important that you model what you are saying on your childā€™s device. Use the CORE words predominantly and fewer nouns. Thatā€™s how adults talk. They learn from ā€˜listeningā€™ to you ā€˜talkā€™. šŸ‘ Thanks for the visual Omar!

This is so true. And it starts when they are very young. šŸ„°

A childā€™s ā€˜bad behaviorā€™ is often a sign of an unmet need rather than a desire to misbehave.

Whether theyā€™re acting out because theyā€™re hungry, tired, overstimulated, or seeking connection, behavior is their way of communicating what they canā€™t yet put into words. Instead of focusing on the behavior itself, try to ask, ā€˜What does my child need right now?ā€™

Meeting that needā€”whether itā€™s a snack, a nap, or a reassuring hugā€”can help resolve the behavior and bring calm. This approach teaches kids that their feelings matter and that there are healthier ways to express them.

By seeing ā€˜bad behaviorā€™ as an opportunity to understand and support, youā€™re building trust and teaching emotional resilience.

Mission Statement for All Communicators

Welcome to AAC On The Lakeshore ā€‹ -Assisting All Communicators

ā€‹The ability to communicate with the world forms the greatest connection we know! A parent whose child cannot express what he or she wants, needs, feels or thinks about a situation, or who cannot be understood, knows heartbreak. An adult who has lost his or her ability to speak finds life turned upside down due to not being able to express his or her wants, needs , feelings or thoughts. There are ways to assist both situations.

Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) often provides the means for those individuals who either never could speak, cannot speak to be understood, or have lost their ability to speak through trauma.

For children with severe communication issues, traditional speech and language therapy is often the first step. However, research has shown that in severe cases, the use of AAC may assist in developing the spoken word. AAC use for communication can assure that language development does not fall behind. AAC therapy for children has two purposes - to learn the communication system, and to learn to communicate at age appropriate levels.
