When a child presses buttons over and over on their AAC device, it’s often labeled as “AAC stimming.” But what you’re really seeing is learning in progress.

Day 7 of AAC Awareness Month! When we have access to AAC outside — whether it’s a sign, a laminated core board, or a robust AAC device — everything changes. 💬☀️ Kids can communicate during their favorite part of the day: PLAY! They can say go, stop, swing, up, help, or your turn! right there on the playground. 🛝 It’s not about perfection — it’s about access and opportunity. When AAC is available everywhere, kids see that communication matters everywhere, too. 👉 Don’t overthink it. 👉 Keep it

AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) isn’t just a device, it’s a powerful tool we use in speech therapy to help children understand, learn and express language in the way that works best for them. 😊🌈 Here’s how AAC supports speech development: ✅ Teaches vocabulary and sentence structure ✅ Builds understanding of language (not just talking!) ✅ Supports turn-taking and social interaction ✅ Reduces frustration and behaviours from not being understood. From picture cards to high-tech dev

I’d love to hear from you 🫶🏽 What do you like about your child using an AAC device? What do you dislike?

Alexandria Zachos | Echolalia and Child Led Therapy on Instagram: "Do you know what babbling looks like on an AAC device? It’s okay to let a child babble on their device! We know a lot about the importance of babbling when it comes to speaking with our mouths, but we don’t hear about the importance of allowing a child to babble on their AAC device. Oftentimes, this is looked at as meaningless or that the child isn’t interested in using the device in a “functional” way or “isn’t ready” for a robu
