AAC Training
For non verbal autistic people
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (RCSLT, 2023). It refers to using communicative systems which augment a message and may be alternative to speech. Whilst the above forms of AAC are used by lots of people around the world, there are other forms of AAC such as visual communication books and electronic communication devices which are used less commonly. These should be personalised to meet the individual needs of a person and designed to reduce the unique communicative challenges they may face. AAC therefore enables people to communicate as effectively as possible, in as many situations as possible (Communication Matters, 2023)
