Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) 

Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) techniques can be employed for children who are not speaking yet, or who are not yet proficient verbal speakers. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is a system of methods or devices used to enhance or supplement communication and speech for those with impairments in the production or comprehension of spoken or written language.

A child’s full communication profile is taken into account identifying specific areas of need. Areas of weakness are addressed to ensure advances in communication and curriculum-related areas. Because verbal speech is intricately intertwined with later developing skills such as reading, writing, pre-computational and science, we offer these services at the pre-school level in order to give your child every opportunity to be ready for their first day of kindergarten.
