Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

A comprehensive assessment is provided to determine and recommend appropriate access methods, language softwares, speech generating devices (SGD), and strategies to improve communication among children with a variety of communication, learning, and mobility needs. Following evaluation, reoccurring treatment is provided to educate, train, and support family as well as improve the child’s AAC competencies (linguistic, social, strategic, and operational skills). An AAC system is to be implemented across settings and communication partners. Therapists at Expansion Speech will consult with your child’s extended team to ensure a successful trial. We hope to recommend an AAC system that meets your child’s current and future communication needs.
