Proloquo2Go:One of my favourite
things
Alternative and augmentative communication (AAC)
Augmentative communication is the use of materials or techniques that supplement existing verbal abilities
Alternative communication is communication methods used by a person without any verbal ability
(Vanderheiden and Yoder, 1986)
What?Signing, symbols, iPad, computers, communication devices
Where?
Everywhere. Anywhere.
Who?Everyone. Anyone.
A communication disability does not just belong to the individual but belongs to the entire environment of which the individual is the focal point.
Sandwell, Communication Aids Centre, UK
