About this course

Does your client or person have more to say than the words they have available?

Has someone suggested Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to you?

Does the person express themselves with challenging behaviour due to limited communication?

This online course is an introduction to the importance of communication even when the words aren’t there yet.  We will introduce you to Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) which can be used with or without spoken words and includes  various communication strategies  that use pictures, devices, iPads and communication books.

We will also share some tips and strategies to help get you started.

It is an introductory course for those just learning about the power of augmentative and alternative communication and is a great first step to understand why and how a person can communicate when they don’t yet have verbal speech.
