Where do I start?

1 minute read

Are you wondering where to start? Or feeling overwhelmed and alone with no one to help?

Starting to use AAC can open up a lot of complex feelings.

One mom we know struggled to open the box when her son’s first device was delivered. She was so overcome with emotions.

She worried that AAC was not going to work. Or that she will make mistakes. Adding AAC to daily life takes effort and she was already tired. This is what happens in a lot of families - most, actually. We can help.

To start, focus on 4 words. Each one is a powerful single word message.

Stop Go More Finished

All four of these words are easy to find on the Home screen.

We chose these words because they are power words. With a single word message, the AAC user can experience autonomy. At some point in the future this is how it might look.
