October is AAC Awareness Month, a time to celebrate every voice and to remind the world that communication comes in many forms.
In our home, communication looks a little different, and that’s something I’m proud of. All three of my kids are AAC users, and over time, I’ve learned that communication doesn’t only happen during therapy sessions or structured lessons. It happens all day long, while cooking breakfast, reading a story, or going to the grocery store.
Homeschooling gives us the gift of time and flexibility to make communication a natural part of everything we do. Every moment can be a language opportunity, not through pressure or drills, but through modeling, connection, and joy.
