AAC support for schools

Training, modelling and practical strategies that bring AAC to life in the classroom

Why AAC matters in schools

AAC and Me helps you embed strategies across your whole school so every child is heard and understood.

We want your school to be a place where every pupil has a voice. By embedding AAC into everyday teaching, you build staff confidence, support pupils to learn and connect, and create a culture where communication thrives.

When AAC is part of daily learning, every child has the chance to be heard.

Making AAC Part of Everyday Teaching

AAC grows through play, interaction and shared experiences. We model strategies with your staff in real classrooms, showing how communication can be woven through play, stories and everyday learning.

From small-group games to whole-class activities, we focus on practical approaches that bring communication to life in every lesson.

When AAC is part of play and daily routines, language and confidence grow together.

What we offer schools

Every school is different, so we shape support around your priorities. Our work helps teachers and support staff use AAC with confidence, creating classrooms where every child can take part and be understood.

Through play, shared activities and clear communication strategies, we help your team build inclusion from the inside out. Whether it’s a single project or long-term support, our goal is the same: to make AAC a natural, joyful part of daily teaching and learning.
