Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

Do you or a loved one find it difficult to communicate using your voice? Perhaps your child understands much more than they can say, or a loved one has had a stroke that has left them unable to speak like they once did. An Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) method may help!

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) refers to ways that a person can communicate using methods other than their speaking voice. Sign language/gestures, alphabet boards, graphics, and high tech devices (iPads/Tablets, Computers) are all examples of AAC.

How Niagara Speech Therapy can help:

• If you feel your loved one can benefit from a method of communication other than their voice and are seeking assessment/support
• If you have purchased a form of AAC (eg: an app on on iPad), and you are looking for programming support and intervention that is functional and appropriate for your loved one
• If your loved one has been prescribed an AAC device from another agency and you are looking for continued AAC/ Language support
• If your loved one is on a "wait list" for assessment and you are looking for strategies/support in the meantime

If you think your loved one may benefit from AAC, or are seeking additional support for your AAC system, please contact Aly at Niagara Speech Therapy:
