AAC is a term used to describe various methods of communication for people who have difficulty with or are unable to use spoken language. AAC can include pictures and/or text; there are many apps that can be used on cell phones and tablets. AAC can help people express their wants and needs and does not inhibit one from learning to speak. It is an excellent tool for both non-speaking and speaking individuals.
