Hey Friends~  When the body works harder, communication often does too. In this episode, we’re talking about communication challenges related to low muscle tone, cerebral palsy, and AAC which  stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication  We’ll look at how effort, fatigue, and positioning impact speech and more importantly, you will hear 3 stories how AAC supported  functional communication for kids that did not  have spoken communication.  Then come back next week so you can hear from a Mom along with her daughter who uses AAC.  Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  [email protected] WEBSITE:  https://www.thelanguageofplay.com/ Have a question or comment?
