The facts are, AAC actually can actually promote speech but even if it didn’t, I’d rather my nonspeaking child have access to AAC and the ability to communicate over just focusing solely on speech that may or may not come. AAC is amazing! #autism #autismfamily #supportneedsmom #supportneedsfamily #aaccommunication #nonverbalcommunication | Momlifewithmara | Facebook
