Did you know that as we grow, so does our attention span? It is normal for a young child to have difficulty attending for long periods of time. However, if you have concerns about your child’s ability to participate in a variety of tasks, try reducing distractions in the environment.

Thinking about AAC for your child but not sure where start? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out alone either! 💛

Here are a few tips from our Kidspeak SLP team:

🧩 1. Think of AAC as a support, not a last resort.
AAC can help your child learn new words, reduce frustration, and connect with others while speech continues to develop.

🗣️ 2. Model AAC during everyday routines.
If your child’s device or board has symbols for “eat,” “play,” or “help,” use them when you talk! Children learn AAC the same way they learn speech — through repeated, meaningful exposure.

👨‍👩‍👧 3. Make it part of home life.
Keep AAC accessible during meals, playtime, and outings — not just during therapy. Communication should never be “put away.”

💬 4. Partner with your child’s speech therapist.
AAC is most effective when families and therapists collaborate. We’ll guide you every step of the way!

Let’s clear up some common myths about AAC! 🙌

❌ Myth 1: “AAC will stop my child from talking.”
✅ Truth: Research shows the opposite! AAC actually encourages speech and language by giving children a way to communicate right now — which reduces frustration and supports verbal learning.

❌ Myth 2: “AAC is only for older children.”
✅ Truth: AAC can be introduced at any age — even toddlers! Early access to communication tools helps language grow naturally alongside play and interaction.

❌ Myth 3: “AAC is only for kids who can’t talk at all.”
✅ Truth: Many children use AAC as part of a multimodal communication system — talking, signing, using visuals, and more!

At Kidspeak, we believe every child deserves access to communication, and AAC is one of the powerful tools that helps make that possible. 💬✨

💬 Every child deserves a voice — and sometimes, that voice looks a little different!

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) can be used to help children express themselves when speaking is difficult or not yet possible.

AAC includes:
🔹 Picture symbols (like PECS or visuals on an iPad)
🔹 Speech-generating devices
🔹 Sign language and gestures
🔹 Communication boards or apps

AAC supports language development — it doesn’t replace it! Many children use AAC as a bridge toward speech, while others use it long-term to connect, learn, and participate more fully at home and school.

💡 When children can express their thoughts, needs, and feelings, their confidence and relationships grow.

🧠 October is AAC Awareness Month! Join us in celebrating all the ways kids communicate.
