Communication takes a team!
AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) isn’t just about the device — it’s about how we support it.
To help a child thrive with AAC, we all play a part.
Here’s how to be a strong communication partner:
-Presume competence – Believe they can understand and express
-Model AAC – Use the device or visuals as you speak
-Be consistent – Use AAC during everyday routines
-Wait & listen – Give time for responses
-Stay engaged – Respond to what they’re trying to communicate
-Watch the whole body – Expression isn’t always just words
If your child needs an AAC device, contact us.
