AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) includes tools and methods that help individuals with communication challenges express themselves. This can involve gestures, picture boards, speech-generating devices, or specialized apps, supporting those who have difficulty speaking or understanding language. AAC does not replace speech but complements or enhances existing abilities, enabling effective interaction and participation in daily life. It is tailored to each person's needs, ensuring they can communicate their thoughts, feelings, and needs independently and confidently.
