🎙️ AAC: Giving Kids a Voice
In this episode of In Session, we’re diving into AAC—Augmentative and Alternative Communication.
Join Westside’s speech-language pathologists Megan Covey, M.S. CCC-SLP, and Mary Smyers-Karaffa, SLPD, M.S. CCC-SLP/L as they break down what AAC really is, who it can help, and how it empowers non-speaking or minimally verbal children to express themselves. From high-tech devices to low-tech tools, we explore how AAC opens up possibilities for connection, learning, and independence.
