AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication — systems that support or replace verbal speech for individuals with complex communication needs.
An AAC specialist evaluates, recommends, and supports these tools to ensure that individuals can express themselves effectively. At Boothby, this means working collaboratively with school teams, families, and students to find the best communication solutions possible.
AAC systems include a range of tools and technologies:
Electronic devices (SGDs) that produce speech output for non-verbal users
Low-tech symbol boards for quick, accessible communication
Picture Exchange Communication Systems for structured visual communication
