My Project
Augmentative and Alternative Communication not only supports non-speaking children, but all children! These mid-tech AAC devices will provide quick access to communication while students are being evaluated for their own high-tech AAC device and to be able to communicate in the classroom with peers and teachers. Some of the AAC devices included have the ability to record. These items will be used for students to be included in play and explore the power of their participation in cause and effect interactions. We honor that children communicate in different manners and that all play is okay!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
