Speech Pathology Week | Different Forms of Communication
Communication is so much more than spoken words. It’s how we share our thoughts, feelings, needs, choices and ideas, and it can look different for everyone.
For some people, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) can support or provide an alternative to speech. AAC may include gestures, facial expressions, key word signs, writing, drawing, communication boards or speech-generating devices.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to communication. What matters is that every person has a way to express themselves, be understood and participate meaningfully in everyday life.
Our Speech Pathologists can support people with complex communication needs by exploring individualised AAC options and working alongside families and communication partners to create supportive, communication-friendly environments.
This Speech Pathology Week, we’re celebrating all forms of communication, because every person deserves the opportunity to have their voice heard.
