AAC Awareness Month 💬💙
Communication doesn’t look the same for everyone—and spoken words are only one way to have a voice.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) can include gestures, signs, pictures, communication boards, speech-generating devices, and more. For many people, AAC provides another way to share their wants, needs, thoughts, feelings, ideas, and personality.
This AAC Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on the many ways people communicate and the importance of presuming competence, providing access, modeling without expectation, and respecting every form of communication.
Because communication is more than spoken words—and every voice deserves to be heard. 💙
