Lately I’ve seen so many great conversations about AAC use in the autistic community, and these conversations are so important. At the same time, we’re inadvertently leaving out AAC users in this space and conversations. As someone who works with medically complex children and adults, I want them to be included in more conversations. I want to honor their AAC use that allows them to connect to this world and space. What would you like to see more conversations about in this AAC space?

As a parent, there are times I’ve sat with feeling I messed up or did something wrong. I felt this way when my daughter was referred and qualified for early intervention. I felt this way when potty training my toddler, and it took longer than I thought it should have. I wish someone would have told me I did nothing wrong. I wish I would have gotten the reassurance my children were perfect just where they were at. But I didn’t, so I’m telling you. From one parent to another, we are doing exactly what we should be doing. Let’s not let anyone make us feel anything less.

AAC doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Families are often told things that sound like rules, but communication isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection. Small moments add up, and real life counts. You’re doing enough, and your child IS learning. Let’s make AAC feel lighter, together. Tech pictures:

Just got off a great presentation from hosted by and this thought really stuck with me. When teachers, SLPs, and parents ask me if their child is ready, what I hear behind those words is, “Am I ready?” AAC can feel so overwhelming which is why it’s so important to reframe it as a tool for connection. It’s a means to an end, not the entire focus. Remember, communication goes beyond words. If you’re finding AAC overwhelming, message me. I’m on a mission to simplify AAC and make it accessible to all. I’m here as a support, so send me your questions or concerns.

Let’s compare TalkingBrix with a cheaper talking button voice output device from Amazon. Not featured here is the overlay app you can use to easily create overlays customised to the TalkingBrix. TalkingBrix is louder and has some really awesome features. The trade off is the cost of $255 for a set of three while the cheap talking button from Amazon is under $20. Have you tried both?
