Augmentative Communication Services (ACS)

(General Level Clinic for children with complex communication needs)

Refer Now

AugmentativeSome children have challenges speaking verbally or writing effectively and would benefit from using augmentative and alternative communication devices.  Our Augmentative Communication Services (ACS) General Level Clinic helps children, youth and their families find ways to communicate.  The Ministry of Health Assistive Devices Program authorizes us to provide appropriate ACS services to children and youth with home based complex communication needs.

The team is made up of a Speech Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapists and Communication Disorders Assistants all with additional training in AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication).  Together the team supports children, youth and their families who have communication challenges through the prescription and customization of AAC devices, training and consultation in all environments over time. For our clients on our ACS caseload who turn 19 years of age, we will continue to follow them if they have ongoing communication needs that can best be met by our service.  If you have questions about your child’s or student’s communication skills and are not sure about possible next steps, the ACS Clinic offers consultation sessions. A consultation session can help answer general questions about augmentative communication or focus on a specific child or student.
