Communication

Augmentative and Alternative Communication systems can be as simple as a picture communication board or as sophisticated as high-tech electronic speech-generating devices. Finding the right approach for communication for each individual incorporates several strategies. A thorough evaluation of the individual’s current communication modes, their environments and needs, as well as their preferences and other skills are considered in determining what will enable them to make more meaningful connections with the world. Thorough training and follow-up services are essential to ensure that the strategies meet the communication needs of the individual. |
