Children using an AAC device (such as an iPad) to communicate NEED us to model language for them on it so that they can learn how to use it 🤍 What is the biggest challenge for you with your child’s communication device? Don’t forget to book your Strategy Session in the 🔗 bio, so you can learn more about the strategies I use and you can feel more confident with helping your child communicate 🚀 #aacspeechtherapy #aacspecialist #aacdevices #aacdeviceshelp #aa

Thanks to ABA, Charlie has learned to communicate basic needs using an AAC device, he’s also learning self-care skills and safety. There’s never any punishment, and his therapists are like family. ABA isn’t about making an autistic person “non-autistic”, it’s about giving people with autism a chance at learning skills that many take for granted like communication, safety and self-care skills. Haters will say Charlie has Stockholm’s Syndrome 💁🏻‍♀️ | Eileen Lamb
