“Communication is a basic right for any individual, whether it is verbal or AAC…. the child should not stop communicating because he/she cannot talk. AAC offers a fresh approach for the child to express their needs, emotions, and thoughts. A blend of speech-language therapy and AAC can enhance the child’s speech, language, and communication abilities”.
