Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) provides individual's either an alternative and/or supplemental way to communicate when spoken language alone is not meeting their communication needs. We provide AAC evaluations to help individuals obtain a speech generating device (SGD) that best fits their unique needs. This process includes an AAC trial(s), device programming, training to your speech provider, family members, and any other integral members of the team, and a thorough report describing our recommendations.

Individuals who may benefit from a SGD may range from a preschoolers who is frustrated due to communication breakdowns, an individual who is having difficulty communicating due to oral motor weakness, and/or individuals who are minimally or nonverbal. We help children and adults with wide ranging diagnoses (including but not limited to aphasia, autism, dysarthria) to obtain devices and learn how to use those devices to achieve their goals .
