🎉 Weekend Win!

As we celebrate AAC Awareness Month this October, we’re thrilled to share a special milestone:

One of our amazing 3-year-olds independently used his AAC device to request trampoline time!

This is a big leap in communication, self-expression and confidence. Being able to ask for what he wants, all on his own is a powerful reminder that every voice matters, no matter how it’s expressed. 💙

October is all about raising awareness and breaking down barriers for AAC users and this win shows just how impactful AAC can be in helping kids connect, play, and thrive.

We’re so proud of his progress and can't wait to see what he says next! 🙌

If you have questions about AAC or supporting your child’s communication journey, our team is always here to support you.
