Functional Communication
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
​
Individuals who use AAC have severe expressive communication disorders that are characterized by impairments in speech, language, reading, and writing. AAC not only represents existing language but also is a tool to aid in expressive and receptive language acquisition and literacy development.
AAC is typically divided into two broad categories—unaided and aided.
Unaided forms of AAC do not require an external tool. Unaided forms require some degree of motor control. An example would be gestures, signs, vocalizations, etc.
Aided forms of AAC require some form of external support—either electronic or nonelectronic. Nonelectronic aided forms are often referred to as "light-tech" or "low-tech." For example, pictures, objects, writing , communication boards and books. Electronic forms are referred to as "high-tech." An example of this would be a speech generating device (SGD) such as an iPad with AAC app installed.

Sippy Cups became all the rage in the 1980s, along with oversized shoulder pads, MC Hammer parachute pants, and bangs that stood up like a water spout on top of your head.

Beyond Articulation: Don't Forget Reading
I have sometimes felt overwhelmed with the number of children on my caseload who struggle with reading. It shouldn’t surprise me, as spoken language and hearing speech sounds is the foundation for reading text.
