AAC EVALUATIONS
An AAC evaluation is a process that helps determine if your child could benefit from an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device or system.
During the AAC evaluation, the therapist will observe how your child currently communicates and what challenges they face. The evaluation also involves discussions with you as a parent to better understand your child's communication goals and preferences. The goal of an AAC evaluation is to empower your child with the most suitable and effective tool to express themselves, interact with others, and enhance their quality of life, ultimately enabling them to communicate more easily and effectively.
