Helping Every Child Find Their Voice

Making communication possible for every child, every day.

AAC and Me is a Yorkshire-based teaching consultancy supporting children with complex communication needs.

We specialise in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and assistive technology (AT), offering practical consultancy, teaching, and training that empowers schools, families and professionals.

Our work brings AAC into everyday life through modelling, coaching and community engagement.

By building the skills and confidence around each child, we help them connect, learn and thrive.

From Devices to Real Communication

AAC alone isn’t enough – children need consistent, practical teaching to turn a device into a true voice.

AAC and Me provides specialist support from a qualified teacher with classroom experience and expertise in assistive technology. We offer assessment, direct teaching and tailored training, always grounded in everyday routines at home and school.

Our clear, outcomes-focused approach builds confidence across whole teams, so communication becomes part of daily life, not an extra.

Building Confident Communicators

AAC and Me is a teaching-led social enterprise providing specialist assessment, teaching and training for children who use AAC.

We work with families, schools and professionals to build skills across the whole team — not just introducing strategies, but showing how to use them in real life.

From classroom routines to home support and follow-up reviews, we help everyone around the child feel confident every day.

Investing in Connection

AAC and Me is more than consultancy – we’re a social enterprise. Profits from our work go back into inclusive activities that help children and families communicate and connect.

From Communication Clubs to free resources and awareness in schools, we’re building stronger communication that lasts – at home, in classrooms and in communities.
