Never wait …. The research speaks for itself! ⬇️

When it comes to high-tech AAC for our youngest communicators, the barriers to access —from financial cost to the difficulty of establishing buy-in—can be steep. But the research shows that the communicative gains are worth fighting for!

Our new review “If you give a preschooler AAC…chances are their expressive language will improve!” looks at the evidence that using SGDs supports expressive communication in autistic preschoolers, including a promising strategy involving visual scene displays. Learn why it’s worth getting your littlest learners connected with robust AAC and the action steps that we SLPs can take right now to maximize our impact with this group.

Every year, I hear the same hesitation:“Our students just aren’t ready for high-tech AAC.”It sounds practical—but that belief is a myth that has held too many students back for too long.

About Us:

Why consider Garden State AAC Specialists? We believe every child, teenager, and adult who are unable to communicate has the basic human right to do so. All individuals communicate, and we consider ourselves communication detectives. We look at how the individual is currently communicating and work from there to develop a more conventional communication approach. We are inspired to work with children and adults who are non-verbal, we have seen their humor, strength, and determination, this pushes us to help them achieve success. Just because one doesn’t have a physical voice doesn’t mean they have nothing to say. We believe in finding the appropriate tools and modalities to assist in communication and language development. Communication development is dynamic and ongoing and needs change throughout one’s life.
