Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

Speech Therapy
Written By Derek Hackett

What It Is:

AAC is any tool or system that helps a child communicate beyond verbal speech — it might include devices, apps, or low-tech visuals.

Why It Matters:

AAC can dramatically improve a child’s ability to express needs, reduce frustration, and develop language — even if verbal speech is limited.

How Prairie Grit Helps:

  • AAC evaluations and personalized system matching

  • Device training for children and families

  • Integration of AAC into daily routines

  • Ongoing updates and communication goals
