What is an AAC?

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) jobs typically involve helping individuals with speech or communication impairments by providing tools and strategies to enhance their ability to communicate. Professionals in this field may include speech-language pathologists (SLPs), assistive technology specialists, and therapists who work with AAC devices such as speech-generating devices, communication boards, and software applications. These roles are often found in schools, healthcare settings, and rehabilitation centers, where they support individuals with conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, or aphasia.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of an AAC specialist?

An AAC Specialist’s daily routine often involves conducting assessments to determine communication needs, recommending and customizing AAC devices, and providing training to users and their families or caregivers. They collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams—including speech-language pathologists, educators, and occupational therapists—to develop and implement effective communication support plans. The role may also include troubleshooting device issues, updating communication boards or software, and documenting progress. These varied responsibilities ensure that individuals receive comprehensive support, enabling them to communicate more effectively in their daily lives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the AAC position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) Specialist, you need a solid background in speech-language pathology, assistive technology, and linguistics, typically supported by relevant certifications such as ASHA CCC-SLP. Familiarity with AAC devices, software applications, and assessment tools is essential for recommending and configuring communication solutions. Strong interpersonal skills, patience, and creativity help in tailoring interventions and building rapport with clients and their support networks. These competencies are critical to supporting individuals with complex communication needs, enhancing their participation and independence.

  • Pediatric experience preferred; new graduates with strong clinical training and a commitment to affirming care are encouraged to apply.
  • Familiarity with AAC, gestalt language processing, motor speech, and/or bilingual language development is a plus.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and documentation skills.
  • Commitment to client dignity, safety, and self-determination.
Why Join Us?
  • Positive clinic culture with a commitment to inclusion and mutual respect.
  • True work-life balance—daytime hours only, no evenings or weekends required.
  • Collaborative partnerships with ABA teams, psychologists, OTs, and PTs.
  • Transparent leadership and opportunities for growth within a values-driven company.
Compensation & Benefits:
  • Competitive salary (based on experience and caseload structure).
  • Health benefits including:
    • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
    • Disability insurance.
    • Company-paid life insurance up to $25,000.
