Creating AAC Goals for Therapy | AAC Modeling

Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) encompasses a range of methods used to supplement or replace speech or writing. Setting personalized AAC goals is essential for effective therapy. Individuals with conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can develop tailored AAC goals to improve their communication skills. The process of creating AAC goals involves assessing the individual's needs, setting measurable objectives, and implementing evidence-based interventions. By working together with speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and using AAC devices, individuals with speech and language impairments can achieve greater independence and participation in their daily lives.
