Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
Your current AAC device works. It allows you to get your needs and wants met. It has a lot of different functions. It doesn’t, however, allow for intimate or romantic conversations with your partner. It doesn’t include dating preferences, flirty comments, or intimate language. Alternatively, you don’t have an AAC device yet and would like assistance in finding one that will work best. We can help.
If an AAC device is used, it must include the option to make comments, negate, ask questions, etc., in an intimate setting. It is important that we are able to tell our partners what feels good, what doesn’t, ask them what they want, and what makes them feel good.
We will work together to ensure that the device is set up appropriately to include a variety of different options no matter the situation (romantic, platonic, intimate, etc).
Any AAC device is appropriate for this type of therapy, however, below are some examples of AAC devices.
