Product Description:

This article discusses the wide span of AAC options, but whether no-tech, low-tech, or high-tech, when choosing an AAC system, the key is to individualize, individualize, individualize! An AAC system works best when it has been carefully crafted to meet the needs of each user. Everything from the size of the pictures to the number of words or icons on a computer screen should be chosen following an AAC evaluation conducted by a licensed SLP in collaboration with each individual and his or her team of therapists, caregivers, and/or family.
