Communication aids (AAC)

Speech & language therapy

Tools - from picture boards to apps - that support or replace speech when talking is hard.

What it is

Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) gives people other ways to get their message across, alongside any speech they have.

Examples

Ranging from simple to high-tech.

  • Picture and letter boards
  • Speech-generating apps and devices
  • Gesture, drawing, and writing
