Week 19
AAC Outside the Family
While AAC might start with close family, your circle of communication partners will grow over time. Invite friends, teachers, or neighbors to also point to words when communicating with your individual. Remind them that AAC doesn’t have to be formal and shouldn’t be bossy or unnatural. It should sound like regular conversation – sprinkled with humor and interesting topics. It is helpful to learners when we show AAC used by a variety of people for a variety of reasons.
