AAC Services for Schools, Educators, and Families

AAC Tech Solutions provides AAC evaluations, implementation support, professional development, in-classroom coaching, and parent training for schools, educators, students, and families across the Greater Boston Area.

We provide comprehensive AAC evaluations designed to identify the tools, strategies, and supports that best fit each student’s unique communication needs.

AAC Evaluations for Students

Individualized evaluations focused on real communication outcomes.

Our evaluations may include:

  • School-funded AAC evaluations
  • Insurance-funded device evaluations
  • Alternative access assessments (eye gaze, switches)
  • Feature matching and system trials

Every evaluation is designed to support meaningful communication, not just device selection.

AAC implementation does not stop after an evaluation. We work directly with educators, therapists, and support staff to help communication systems become part of everyday routines and environments. 

AAC Implementation Support

Support may include:

  • Device setup and customization
  • Classroom integration strategies
  • Communication partner training

  • Ongoing collaboration with school teams

Our goal is to help AAC become functional, effective, and consistently used throughout the day.

We're happy to collaborate with you to develop customized training topics that provide current resources, effective strategies, and meaningful professional development tailored to your team's needs.

Professional development can be provided at the district level, for individual schools or departments, parent groups, PACs, paraprofessionals, learning assistants, and other educational teams.

We work directly within classrooms and educational environments to help teams apply AAC strategies in real situations with real students.

This hands-on support helps bridge the gap between training and implementation while building confidence across staff and support teams.
