What Is AAC, and Why Is It Important?

If you’re here, you probably already know what AAC is, so we’ll keep this brief. Augmentative and alternative communication, or AAC, includes any tools, techniques, or devices that help people with speech and language challenges express themselves​. This includes everything from simple communication boards to high-tech apps like Spoken. AAC empowers people to share their thoughts and needs when speaking isn’t an option, making it a vital resource for many.

AAC benefits a lot of people, including:

• Autistic individuals: Many autistic people use AAC to help communicate more effectively​. Some may be nonspeaking while others just find it more comfortable to use than speech.
• People with aphasia: Someone with aphasia — a condition often caused by stroke or brain injury — may find AAC crucial for communicating​.
• People with neurodegenerative diseases: AAC offers ways to maintain communication even as abilities change​ due to conditions like Parkinson’s or ALS.
• People with temporary speech loss: AAC may be used as a temporary communication aid​ by people recovering from surgeries or injuries that impact the ability to speak.

Ultimately, AAC is for anyone who could benefit from communication support — there’s no single “type” of AAC user.
