Episode 25: Let’s Talk About AAC
While most people living with CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder are non-speaking, this does not mean they cannot communicate! AAC or Augmentative and Alternative Communication refers to any method or tool that helps someone communicate when they cannot use their spoken words effectively. In this episode we talk about our own children’s journeys with AAC and some of what we have learned along the way. AAC helps people of all ages and it's never too early to start, so don't wait! Talk to your speech-language pathologist about your child's communication needs today!
