You just sent chills down my spine! I am an SLP, and I'm not perfect, but I have fought for multiple children to have AAC devices I felt they could grow into and "acquire", just as a speaking child would be immersed in spoken language before they could prove competence. I had a lot of other SLPs and educators, even parents. shoot down my ideas, even when I supplied them illustrations and research to support my recommendations for a child. I felt alone. I thought maybe I was wrong, maybe too hopeful. Your words just put wind back in my sail! I have my own child who uses AAC, signing, and it has been the world to us to have a secondary way to communicate with him. We can see his little ideas, and he knows that we understand him and delight in him. It's so powerful, and I wish communication in any form for all children. Thanks for sharing your thoughts so eloquently.
