AAC Assessment

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) assessment is a process used to evaluate an individual’s communication needs and strengths, especially when speech isn’t enough or possible. It involves reviewing the person’s current communication methods, understanding their daily interactions, and identifying suitable tools or systems—like symbols, gestures, or electronic devices—that can help them communicate more effectively. The goal is to determine the best way to support the individual’s ability to express themselves and participate in social, educational, or work activities, ensuring their communication needs are fully addressed.
