Individual Student AAC Evaluations, Funding and Implementation

We provide comprehensive, systematic augmentative communication evaluations for your individual students, for the purpose of designing a communication system which best meets their needs. We also help our districts assist families in funding personal speech generating devices which means students are able to communicate and develop age appropriate language in a cohesive manner between home and school. Our team has a 97% success rate in funding communication devices through insurance and Medicaid, giving our students and districts affordable solutions to significant communication needs.
