This can include the use of devices, communication boards, software, or sign language to support or replace spoken communication. They assess individuals’ needs, recommend appropriate tools, and provide training for effective use. These specialists often work in schools, hospitals, or rehabilitation centers, collaborating with speech-language pathologists and other professionals to improve clients' communication abilities.

Familiarity with AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) devices, software, and assessment tools is essential for evaluating and implementing communication solutions. Strong interpersonal skills, creativity, and patience are crucial for engaging clients and collaborating with families and multidisciplinary teams. These skills ensure that individuals with complex communication needs receive effective, personalized support to improve their quality of life.
