From Devices to Real Communication

Turning AAC into everyday interaction

Children need consistent, meaningful teaching to make AAC part of daily life.

AAC and Me provides support from a qualified teacher and assistive technology specialist. We offer assessment, direct teaching and tailored training, all grounded in play, learning and real experiences at home and school.

Our practical approach builds confidence across whole teams so communication becomes natural, not separate.

Investing in Connection

AAC and Me is more than consultancy, it’s a social enterprise. We reinvest in inclusive projects that bring communication to life through play, stories and shared experiences.

From Communication Clubs to free resources and school partnerships, we’re building communication that lasts, at home, in classrooms and across communities.
