Augmentative and alternative communication includes all forms of communication (other than oral speech) that are used to express thoughts, needs, wants and ideas.
The Augmentative and Alternative Communication Program is an outpatient and hospital-based program providing comprehensive augmentative/alternative communication evaluations and treatment for adults and children who are nonspeaking or whose speech is severely impaired.
Our team of speech-language pathologists collaborates with occupational and physical therapists in offering consultations for patients with limited movement that impacts their access to alternative forms of communication.

We also provide guidance with message banking and assist patients with voice banking.
