Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is for an individual who partially or consistently cannot rely on verbally speaking.
This can include individuals who:
Cannot speak clearly enough to be understood
Cannot speak at all
Have lost the ability to speak
Can speak only a limited repertoire of words or phrases
This may include people with:
Apraxia
Dysarthria
Autism
Down Syndrome
Cerebral Palsy
William’s Syndrome
Phelan McDermid Syndrome
Stroke
Dandy Walker Syndrome
And anyone who cannot reliably produce speech
AAC can feel like a path of last resort, however, this is not the case. AAC is the key to opening doors to the rest of the world for the individuals who need and can benefit from this method of treatment.
“My grandson has CP and is non-verbal. We have been working with Mike and a communication device for 4 years.
He has changed the way my grandson lets us know what he needs.
Mike has a lot of patience working with the joker I have for a grandson. My grandson Kyle is 29 years old, he had a communication device in school, but it didn't seem to help him as much as Mike. Mike has a great way of teaching. Kyle loves it.”
