AAC isn’t just for school! PACTT students take their AAC devices everywhere they go, including into the community. Using AAC in the community allows PACTT students to apply their communication skills in a new environment. AAC empowers students to be understood by community members and gives our community a chance to see AAC in action!

The best way to learn AAC is to use it with others! At PACTT, every staff member is part of supporting students’ AAC proficiency. Staff participate in regular professional development on best practices in AAC, and work hard to model AAC use throughout the day.

October is AAC Awareness Month!

At PACTT school, nearly 80% of students use a high-tech communication device. These devices are a form of AAC: Augmentative and Alternative Communication. AAC devices help students share their thoughts, interact with people around them, learn new vocabulary, and more! AAC is an essential support for many PACTT students’ learning.
