“Augmentative and alternative communication, or AAC, is a method of communication using different strategies or tools”.

Ok! Let’s make it simpler, For example! A man standing in a busy noisy market, find his friends at a distance, and he wants to communicate to his friend. Guess! How he would have communicated?

By now we all rushes with several thoughts, like how he would have. Yes! May be he tried to wave his hands, show written cardboards, pictures, some kind of gestures, signs, facial expressions, also may use somekind of electronic devices like phone to text or call him, loudspeaker if nearby to help him amplify his voice rather than shouting.

Super! Look there are several ways to communicate to an individual through other modes apart from speaking. Therefore, each individuals in his or her life uses various forms of communication depending on his environmental context and partners. Final outcome of successful communication is information being delivered meaningfully, correctly and timely. Nowlet rethink what is an AAC!

AAC (Augmentative and alternative communication) is a way of communicating or expressing needs by an individual with communication problem to his fellow humans using any type such as unaided systems and or aided systems which can be using low or high technology based devices. They choose the type of AAC system based on their needs, speech and language ability, motor skills, cognitive skills and functionality.

Remember KANAV motto! AAC can be used to augment (enhance, facilitate and or empower) the communication abilities. So even if your child is devoid of verbal communication or limited with verbal output, still AAC can be opted as an augmentative and alternative way of method of communication.
