"Not Being Able to Speak Is Not The Same As Not Having Anything To Say" We are Speech and Language Therapists who specialize in Assistive and Alternative Communication (AAC). We serve individuals of all ages who may be non-verbal or may have difficulties with expressive language. We use customized high-tech and low-tech methods and devices to help individuals to communicate - to connect people of
all abilities so that they can give voice to their own journey. CTEC provides a way to:
See, touch and try out AAC technology;
To connect with others;
To get assistance finding and purchasing the device you need;
To learn how to use technology effectively;
Support individuals, family members, and professionals with making decisions about technology and AAC. Our licensed Speech & Language Therapists who are AAC specialists provide "evaluation" to determine what might be the most effective method and device to enhance communication, and "training" on how to effectively use and integrate the communication solution into everyday life. We include family members & support staff form the community or school in the process. We also offer community awareness programs and training to increase the understanding of AAC in our lives and to promote inclusive communities.
