Augmentative and Alternative Communication or AAC

Augmentative and alternative communication or AAC devices are used by people who, some or all the time, cannot rely on their speech. AAC may include any existing speech or vocalizations, gestures, manual signs, and aided communication. Speech-generating devices are another modality which may be used to enhance and individual’s communication abilities. AAC devices are used to help persons with communication difficulties related to ALS, stroke, head injury or other neurological event. A Shannon Neuro Rehab speech-language pathologist will assess and make treatment recommendations to maximize communication for each patient.
