Augmentative and alternative communication
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) means helping people speak or communicate when they are not able to do it by themselves. There are many reasons why someone might not be able to speak. That could be because they have a condition or a disability that makes it hard for them to talk.
AAC can help people communicate in different ways, such as using pictures, symbols or technology. For example, they can use a special device that helps them talk by pressing buttons or using their eyes.
AAC is like having a special tool that helps people communicate in a way that works best for them. It's like giving someone a special walkie-talkie that can help them talk to others when they can't use their own voice.
Overall, AAC is all about helping people find a way to communicate better, no matter what challenges they might face.
