Augmentative Alternative Communication Devices!

We’re back with part 2 of my conversation with the amazing Venita from Speechie Side Up! She’s diving into the question: “What are Augmentative Alternative Communication Devices?”

This episode helps parents and providers understand how they can support early language learners. Additionally, you’ll learn about the importance of determining the right form of communication for children.

If you missed part 1, you can catch up here.

We also chat about the importance of individualizing AAC, especially when working with gestalt language processors, and how different forms of communication (high-tech, low-tech, or unaided) can meet the needs of many communicators.

This image shows examples of handouts for augmentative alternative communication devices and explains differences. These handouts are part of the handbook for early intervention speech and language; Communicate and Connect.

Whether you’re brand-new to AAC or looking to strengthen your early intervention speech and language support, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
