Description

Each person is different and, thus, each communicates in a different way. In some cases, there are disorders o diseases that cause consequences on the subjects like the inability to carry out the traditional communication by spoken language, so they need other ways that help them.  It is then when the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices appear. The Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices are forms of expression other than spoken language, whose goal is to increase (augmentative) and make up (alternative) communication difficulties and language of many disabled people.
