More Than Words: Helping AAC Become Part of Everyday Life

The 2026 AAC Awareness Month theme, “AAC in Everyday Life: Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond,” reminds us that communication supports should not exist only in therapy sessions. For Occupational Therapists at The Therapy Network, AAC is closely connected to participation — helping children and young people communicate choices, express needs, build relationships and take a more active role in the everyday occupations that matter to them.
