Helping Every Child Find Their Voice

AAC and Me is a Yorkshire-based specialist teaching consultancy supporting children aged 2 to 11 with complex communication needs.

We work alongside schools, families and professionals to embed Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) into everyday life, through meaningful interactions across home, school and community.

Our teaching-led approach includes assessment, consultancy, direct intervention and training. We build confidence and skills across whole teams, creating consistent, inclusive communication environments where AAC users can truly thrive.

We provide assessment, direct teaching and tailored strategies across home and school, always grounded in everyday routines.

Our reports are clear, outcome-focused and easy to share. We build confidence across the whole team, helping schools and families integrate communication support into daily life.

Building Confident Communicators

AAC & 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 demonstrating how to use them in real-life situations.

From classroom teaching and home routines to follow-up reviews and clear, accessible reports, we help everyone around the child feel confident in supporting communication every day.

From Teaching to Togetherness

We reinvest into Communication Clubs that give AAC users and their families space to connect, practise and grow together. We believe families play a vital role in building communication that lasts.

By focusing on the most complex learners and the people around them, we help build stronger communication for everyone.
