Buy AAC Device | Assistive Communication Devices for Speech Therapy

What is AAC?

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) is communication devices, systems, and tools that replace or support natural speech that help an individual with speech or language impairment to communicate verbally. AAC devices are often called speech-generating devices or assistive communication devices. AAC can help augment or supplement communication or serve as an alternative to communication for people who have difficulty producing oral speech. The best part of AAC is that children with severe physical disabilities such as visual problems can also operate them. People use AAC temporarily or long-term based on their circumstances. AAC methods may vary and can be personalized to meet each individual’s needs.

How do AAC devices work?

AAC devices allow users to communicate through a combination of words, sentences, and pictures. Additionally, the user can also communicate by typing or drawing, sharing pictures, and pre-recorded voices. By using these tools, children can express what they want in several different ways. These devices enable kids to practice speech and comprehension through videos, quizzes, and a series of activities. Users with impaired speech can still stay connected with their loved ones through videos that boost their self-esteem and offer a sense of independence.
