Augmentative Alternative Communication Clinic

Spaulding specialists at the Lurie Center have created a communication and technology program to provide comprehensive evaluations and interventional strategies for children and young adults needing alternative or augmentative means of communication through use of a variety of different communication devices. The goal is to provide communication skills that extend beyond simply conveying of basic wants and needs, and provides the means to allow each individual to be heard, and to express emotions. In addition, the program provides assistive technology evaluations and interventional strategies for children requiring academic aides for use in their home and classroom environments.

Spaulding's speech-language pathologists provide both direct clinical care and opportunities for participation in research.
