Myth or Fact? Let’s Talk About AAC Devices.

AAC is not only for nonverbal children and it does not prevent speech development. Research shows AAC often supports and enhances verbal language. These tools can benefit individuals of all ages, including those who can speak but find communication challenging in certain situations.

Learning to use AAC takes time, patience, and practice—just like learning to speak. Also, using an AAC device doesn’t mean someone will need it forever. Communication supports can evolve as skills grow, based on individual needs and family input.

Understanding AAC helps us build more inclusive, supportive communication environments for everyone.

👉 Have questions about AAC or wondering if it could help someone you love? We’re here to help. Contact us at (248) 697-4620 or email AACsupport@befittingyoumedsupply.com

Mattel recently introduced its newest Barbie: Autistic Barbie Fashionista 💜
While some may say this doll doesn’t “look autistic,” autism doesn’t have a specific look. This Barbie represents inclusion by highlighting everyday tools and experiences that many individuals with autism use and rely on—including assistive communication.

Autistic Barbie carries a tablet, commonly known as an AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) speech-generating device. For many individuals, AAC isn’t just a support—it’s their voice.

At Befitting You, we see firsthand how vital communication access is. In 2025, we proudly served over 500 children and adults with speech-generating devices, including individuals with significant speech impairments, communication delays, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

When toys, media, and everyday conversations normalize AAC and assistive technology:
• Children feel seen and validated
• Peers develop understanding instead of assumptions
• Families feel less alone
• Communication differences are treated as differences—not deficits

We applaud Mattel for promoting inclusivity, representation, and awareness. Communication matters. Independence matters. Representation matters. This is a meaningful step forward.

To learn more about speech-generating devices, please call Befitting You’s speech team at (248) 697-4620 or email AACsupport@befittingyoumedsupply.com.

Living with lymphedema can feel overwhelming, but with the right care and support, it can become manageable. Swelling, discomfort, and limited mobility don’t have to control your daily life.

Compression therapy is the cornerstone of effective lymphedema care. Properly fitted compression garments help move excess fluid and reduce swelling as well as improve comfort, support circulation, and help protect long-term limb health.

Compression therapy also plays a powerful role in helping people regain confidence and independence by being able to move more freely, wear everyday clothing comfortably, and participate in normal activities. Combined with education, proper fitting, and ongoing support, lymphedema care becomes less about limitations and more about living well.

With expert guidance from Befitting You's lymphedema care specialists and fitters, it’s possible to get back to a life that feels more balanced and in control. Call today at (888) 468-0485 or visit https://befittingyoumedsupply.com/product-category/lymphedema-care/
