How Can We Support Our AAC-Users?

Recently, Chelsey Roos posted on the ALSC blog about how we can better enhance the library experience of AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) users. 

She writes: "October is AAC Awareness Month! AAC stands for “augmentative and alternative communication,” and it’s often used to refer to a tool that can help someone communicate without speech, like a picture board or a tablet with a communication application. It can be as simple as a white board, or as high tech as a computer that can detect the user’s eye movements and translate them to speech. Someone who is non-speaking, or has difficulty speaking, can use their AAC to communicate with others. "
