What Is AAC and Who Is It For?

AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. It refers to tools and strategies that help individuals communicate when they have difficulty using speech.

AAC can be as simple as a picture board or as complex as a tablet-based speech-generating device. It's often used by kids with autism, cerebral palsy, or apraxia of speech—but AAC isn’t limited to one diagnosis.

AAC empowers communication, builds confidence, and reduces frustration. At The SLP Therapy Lab, we provide personalized AAC support for families at any stage—whether you're just exploring options or already using a device.

We help assess your child’s needs, select the right system, and train caregivers so communication becomes smoother at home, school, and beyond.
