Assistive Technology & Augmentative Communication (AAC)

ASSESSMENT & DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

Every Voice Deserves to Be Heard

We help individuals with limited speech find their voice. Our experts match the right communication technology to unlock self-expression, connection, and independence.

Overview

What if Words Aren't an Option?

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is the term for all the tools and strategies used to help people who struggle with verbal speech.It can be a simple drawing board, a sign language gesture, or a high-tech speech-generating device. The goal of AAC is not to return vocabulary, but to increase it and guarantee that every individual has a dedicated way to express their thoughts, wants, and feelings. It’s about finding what works and giving everyone the power to touch.

Who Can Benefit from AAC

Empowering Communication for All

AAC can be a life-changing support system for any individual whose speech is not sufficient to meet their daily communication needs. We work with both children and adults.

This includes individuals with

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) individuals who are non-verbal or have limited verbal communication.
Motor speech disorders like Apraxia of Speech or Dysarthria.
Physical conditions such as Cerebral Palsy that make speech difficult.
Neurological eventslike a stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Genetic syndromes that affect speech development.
Progressive neurological diseases like Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Exploring the World of AAC

Finding the Right Tool for Every Voice

The world of AAC is diverse, offering a wide range of solutions. Our expertise lies in matching the appropriate technology to an individual’s specific abilities and communication goals.

Low-Tech

Simple, Non-Electronic Aids

These foundational tools are powerful, portable, and don’t require any power source, making them excellent for starting the communication journey or for use as a backup.

Custom Communication Boards:

We design personalised panels and readers featuring relevant symbols, photos, or words that a user can point to for quick expression.

Picture Exchange System (PECS)

We teach this structured method where a person learns to hand a picture to a communication associate to request an item or share a thought.

Gestures and Sign Language

We include the use of meaningful body language and basic sign language to support operational communication.

High-Tech

Electronic & Voice-Output Devices

These advanced electronic systems give users a “voice” through technology, ranging from simple recorded messages to dynamic, language-rich computers.

Dedicated Speech-Generating Devices (SGDs)

We help select and program sophisticated devices that can be controlled in various ways, including by touch, head switches, or even with the user's eyes (eye-gaze).

Tablet Communication Apps

We transform everyday tablets (like iPads) into powerful communication tools by installing and customising specialised AAC apps.

Voice-Output Buttons

We utilise simple, programmable buttons that can speak a single message, perfect for making choices or getting attention.

Our Comprehensive AAC Services

A Complete Journey to Confident Communication

We provide end-to-end support to ensure your loved one is not just given a device, but is truly empowered to use it.

AAC Assessment

We conduct a thorough assessment to understand an individual's physical, cognitive, and communication abilities to identify the most suitable AAC system for their needs.

Device & System Trials

We provide opportunities to trial different AAC options (from simple apps to dedicated devices) to find the perfect, most intuitive fit before making a final decision.

Ongoing Support & Integration

We provide continuous follow-up and support to adapt the system as the user's skills grow, ensuring the AAC device remains an effective tool for communication for years to come.

Our Approach

A Personalised Journey to Communication

Choosing the right AAC system is a critical decision. We believe in a collaborative and thorough process to ensure the chosen tool is not just suitable, but truly empowering for the user. One size never fits all.

Facility Highlights

Holistic Evaluation

We look at the whole person. Our assessment evaluates physical abilities (like hand dexterity), cognitive skills, vision, and current communication attempts to understand what they can do.

Lifestyle & Environment Analysis

We consider where the AAC system will be used—at home, in a busy classroom, or out in the community. The device must be practical for the user's real life.

Feature Matching & Trials

We match the individual's needs to specific device features (like symbol type, screen size, or access method). We then arrange trials so the user and family can test different options in real-world settings.

Collaborative Decision-Making

The final decision is always made as a team. We combine our clinical expertise with the invaluable insights of the user and their family to choose the system that everyone feels confident and excited about.
