AAC Isn’t a Last Resort - It’s a Voice

If your child isn’t speaking yet—or only using a few words—you might be wondering, “Will they ever talk?” Or “Should we wait longer?”

We want to introduce a powerful, hopeful option: AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). AAC can be anything from a picture board to a high-tech speech-generating device. But no matter the format, the goal is the same: give your child a reliable way to express themselves.

Some things to know:

• AAC does not stop speech development—in fact, it often supports it.

• It’s for kids of all ages and ability levels.

• It can reduce frustration and help children connect with their world.

At Sprout Therapy Co., we are passionate about helping kids find their voice—whether that’s with signs, pictures, or buttons that talk. We’ll guide your family through choosing the right system, teaching how to use it, and making it feel natural in daily life.

Every child deserves a way to say what they think, feel, and need. And sometimes, that starts with AAC.
