Connecting Through Communication

There are many ways to communicate, including: American Sign Language (ASL), gestures, talking, writing, and AAC. What is AAC? AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. AAC uses strategies to help individuals express their needs, thoughts, and ideas. Why is this important? Many students at Lexington use special ACC apps on their iPads to help them communicate. During the month of May, the Speech Department hosted a Language & Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ACC) challenge so students could experience how their peers use AAC to communicate!
