Augmentative and alternative communication, also known as AAC, describes communication systems which support or replace speech or written communication. Rehab connection is one of only a small number o NSW based Speech Pathology practices with extensive experience working with clients who use AAC.
Who can benefit
For adults who have severe communication impairments, access to AAC tools may mean the difference between a living in silence and isolation versus being independent and able to interact and participate.
What we can do
An AAC specialist, Sarah takes a methodical and evidence-based approach in the selection and application of AAC systems and strategies with her clients. She is able to personalise plans (factoring in different settings and situations), draw on new technology and support the trial and implementation of AAC.
