Complex Communication & AAC Support
Communication is more than spoken words. We support children and individuals who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to express wants, needs, thoughts, ideas, emotions, and personality.
What is AAC?
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) includes tools, strategies, and systems that support communication. AAC can supplement speech or provide another way to communicate.
