Collaborative AAC: Empowering Families and Care Teams

Unlocking the Power of Group Collaboration in AAC

For families, therapists, and educators supporting non-verbal individuals, communication is a team effort. Traditional AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) tools often limit collaboration, making it tough for everyone involved to seamlessly contribute and support the communicator’s growth. That’s where a truly collaborative AAC platform makes all the difference.

Why Group AAC Collaboration Matters

Communication doesn’t happen in isolation. Whether it’s a parent adding new vocabulary for a family trip, a teacher building a board for classroom routines, or a therapist tailoring content for therapy sessions, everyone brings unique insights. When care teams and families can work together—without being tied to a single device—it leads to:

• Consistency across environments: Shared boards and vocabulary mean the communicator gets the same support at home, school, and in therapy.

• Faster progress: Multiple perspectives help identify new opportunities for growth and catch gaps in communication needs.

• Less stress for families: No more scrambling to update boards or share changes—everyone can collaborate in real-time, from anywhere.

How SpeakAnyWay Makes Collaboration Easy

SpeakAnyWay was built with group AAC collaboration at its core. Here’s how our platform empowers your team:

• Multiple caregivers, one communicator: Invite family members, teachers, and therapists to join your child’s AAC team. Everyone can add, edit, or customize boards—no need for the communicator’s device to be present.

• Scenario-based boards: Prepare for real-life situations together—like doctor visits, family gatherings, or school projects—by building boards as a team.

• User-friendly customization: No specialist required. If you can use a smartphone, you can update boards, add new words, or adjust layouts.

• AI-powered suggestions: Get vocabulary and layout recommendations based on your communicator’s needs, making collaboration smarter and more efficient.

A Platform Built by Families, for Families

At SpeakAnyWay, we know firsthand how important it is for every voice in the care team to be heard. Our platform is designed to break down barriers—not just for communicators, but for everyone supporting them.
