Using an AAC Device in a Speech Therapy Session!

Above, you are seeing a speech therapist working with a child during a session that uses an AAC device. AAC, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication, is a tool that helps children express their wants, needs, and thoughts when spoken language is limited or still developing. By tapping words or pictures that the device speaks aloud, children gain a clear and reliable way to communicate and be understood. Therapists and parents model its use during everyday routines, helping children learn how to find words, build messages, and express themselves with confidence. For many families, trying to make sure their nonverbal child is heard can feel overwhelming, but sessions like this show what is possible! Every tap, gesture, and choice has meaning. All communication is good communication, and every step forward matters! #compleatkidz #aacdevice #speechtherapy #augmentativecommunication
