Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
For individuals who have difficulty with verbal communication, we provide a range of solutions to support effective communication, including:
Low-Tech and High-Tech Solutions: From picture boards to advanced speech-generating devices.
Sign language: We offer training in sign language as part of the AAC toolkit, enabling individuals to communicate through visual gestures and signs, often as a primary or supplementary form of communication.
AAC Device Assessment and Training: Personalised evaluations to determine the most suitable AAC options, which may include sign language, depending on the individual's needs and preferences. Followed by personalised training to facilitate successful uptake and use of the communication system.
By integrating sign language with other forms of AAC, we can help individuals who may benefit from a multimodal communication approach that includes both visual and verbal cues.
