AAC = Augmentative and Alternative Communication.
It’s any way a child can communicate when talking is tricky using pictures, signs, boards or communication apps.
AAC helps children:
✅ Share wants, needs & ideas
✅ Build language and vocabulary
✅ Join in with family routines
✅ Feel heard and included
✅ Reduce frustration
✨ Myth busting:
Using AAC does not stop speech. It supports speech and language development.
Many children use AAC alongside talking to communicate more clearly, especially in tricky moments.
Every child’s voice matters. AAC helps it be heard 💛
