Augmentative and Alternative Communication Services
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) supports are appropriate for students who are not able to use their natural speech as their primary mode of communication. AAC is within the scope of practice of all speech-language pathologists, so all direct services involving AAC are provided by the site SLP. When the site team needs support in choosing and implementing an AAC system, they can contact the AAC Coaches for consultation. The AAC Coaches consult district-wide to teachers, case-managers, SLPs, school staff, and families.
To contact our team please call: 925-682-8000, ext. 5406
