AAC Fun Fact!
💜 AAC is more than a device—it’s communication access.
Here’s an AAC fact you may not know:
Using AAC does not prevent someone from developing spoken language. In fact, AAC can give a person another way to communicate while speech is developing, inconsistent, difficult, or unavailable.
AAC can support communication for individuals with a wide range of needs, including those with:
✨ Childhood Apraxia of Speech
✨ Gestalt Language Processing
✨ Autism
✨ Motor speech differences
✨ Complex communication needs
✨ And more
The goal is not to make someone “prove” they can talk before giving them access to AAC.
The goal is to make sure they have a reliable way to communicate right now.
If you’re a parent, therapist, educator, or communication partner who wants to feel more confident supporting AAC, come join us inside our 8-Module AAC Training Course in The Dramatic SLP Skool Community!
