AAC

AAC, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication, refers to methods used to support or replace speech for individuals who have difficulty communicating verbally. It includes tools like picture boards, gestures, sign language, speech-generating devices, and computer-based apps. AAC helps people express their needs, thoughts, and feelings more effectively, enhancing their participation in social, educational, and daily activities. It’s tailored to each person’s abilities and preferences, promoting independence and improving quality of life.
