​

Specialized AAC service options are listed below.

01.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) evaluations

AAC evaluations are completed over several sessions. They include trying several different communication devices, exploring different ways of accessing a device when appropriate (e.g. eye tracking, switch scanning, use of keyguards), and determining the best wheelchair mounting equipment when applicable.

​

Our AAC evaluations can be completed for the purpose of Individual Educational Evaluation (IEE), insurance/MediCal/Medicare funding, or private funding.

​

Did you know that most private insurance companies, Tricare, MediCal, Medicare, and a program in California called the “Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program” will often cover the full cost of an AAC device AND all recommended accessories? We have extensive experience completing the paperwork required for this type of funding, and will help you navigate what route makes the most sense to get our clients the equipment they need.

02.

AAC-focused individual speech therapy sessions

Therapy sessions can incorporate AAC systems that are already in place, or are used as a way to develop new language and communication skills and identify the most optimal way to access communication.  All therapy sessions  are developed around whatever activities are the most personally motivating and engaging for each of our clients.

AAC consultation may include the following:

  • Meeting with the school team, ABA, or other providers to give guidance and training on how to incorporate the use of the AAC device in a given setting.
