More about AAC
AAC strategies help people with complex communication needs to participate more fully in their social roles, including interactions, education, community activities, occupation, and healthcare. Selecting, designing, and customizing an AAC system is just the first step. The individual will need training and experience using the prescribed system, and communication partners also play a key role and need to be trained to support the continued development and success of the recommended AAC system.
The goal of the AAC strategy or technique used by the child or adult is to maximize their communication skills - production as well as comprehension - for functional and effective communication of their needs, preferences, and wishes as well as access to education and literacy skills. We help our beneficiaries by providing them with AAC strategies that enable them to communicate in ways that are readily understood, thereby reducing isolation and frustration.
