EVERY SINGLE PERSON has a fundamental right to communicate
their own messages in EVERY aspect of their life.
That's ALL people, including those who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. The words "augmentative" and "alternative" describe the various methods, tools, and systems used to supplement (augmentative) or replace (alternative) spoken or written speech for people with severe expressive communication impairments. https://www.asha.org/njc/aac
What tends to get overlooked is that different people need different types and levels of support. Help can only be effective if the assistance provided matches the learning style and learning needs of the learner... in that moment.
