WHAT IS AIDED LANGUAGE STIMULATION?

Aided Language Stimulation is the process of modelling Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) language in everyday settings. The communication partner communicates with the AAC user verbally, whilst also selecting keywords on the person’s AAC system.

This helps to develop the person's understanding of the communication, and also their ability to use the AAC expressively.
