If you are exploring AAC as an intervention to help enhance your child’s communication, here are some tips you may want to consider:

• Locating a speech and language pathologist with expertise in AAC. If your child is over the age of 3, check with your school district’s special education department to see if someone on staff has this expertise. You may be directed to your County Office of Education. If your child is under three or if you prefer to not go through your school district, research local community organizations and individual therapists and inquire about their AAC experience.
• Exposing your child to a variety of devices from different manufacturers during the evaluation. This will help ensure the best device that meets his needs is selected.
