Helping Your Child Use Their AAC Device Throughout the Day

For children using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), integrating devices into daily life is crucial. Parents can support this by modeling usage, ensuring accessibility, incorporating AAC into routines, offering choices, celebrating communication attempts, being patient, and involving family. These strategies enhance confidence and facilitate meaningful connections in communication.

A Historic Milestone: Celebrating the ADA at 35

The ADA has improved access in various areas but challenges remain, including enforcement gaps and cultural stigma. The 35th anniversary serves as a time for reflection and renewed commitment to these rights.
