One of the most common questions we hear from SLPs...
👉 “Who is a good candidate for a high-tech AAC device?”
Let’s break it down:
1️⃣ There are no prerequisite skills required to begin AAC
2️⃣ Candidacy isn’t about a specific diagnosis — it’s about communication needs
3️⃣ AAC can support communication at many stages, not just one
4️⃣ Supported AAC use does not mean unsuccessful use (aka: your client doesn't need to be fully independent to benefit from AAC)
5️⃣ Doing an AAC trial is often the best way to determine fit
