💬 Why We Avoid Hand-Over-Hand with AAC
When teaching kids to use AAC, it can be tempting to guide their hand to the “right” button—but hand-over-hand prompting can take away their independence and make communication feel forced.
At Epicenter, we focus on modeling instead—showing how to use the device, pointing to words, and keeping communication fun and empowering. 🌟
This helps children build confidence, ownership, and a genuine love for communication!
We’re proud to have Katie Kuhlmann, M.S., CCC-SLP, our Speech and Language Pathologist, supporting families every step of the way. 💛
