Excellent reporting here by North Jersey. When residents are denied access to the communication tools and supports they need to communicate effectively, the institution dehumanizes them even further.

I have been an SLP for almost 15 years. I've worked in a self-contained program with autistic kids who use AAC devices for 10 years. How am I *just now* noticing the icon on LAMP for "Thursday" is Thirsty Thursday?! #slpeep #slp #aacforall 🤣🤣🤣

I first saw this idea shared by aacforall on Insta a few years ago. I made a few variations. The ones I've used the most are the core and fringe strip flip tops.

I love them as I can model core and fringe for different activities and a wider range of language functions.

What if communication looked a little different — and that’s okay?
AAC helps people express themselves in ways that work best for them — through images, devices, gestures, and more.

Every voice deserves to be heard. 💙
