Specialist AAC support for parents, carers and familiesÂ
The online AAC community hub for parents and carers of children and teenagers using AAC devices, providing guidance, ongoing learning and personalised support to become confident communication partners.
AAC is a powerful toolÂ
But right now, you're trying to figure it out on your own.
You have the device, but it feels like the support you need just isn't there.
You want to:Â
-
Be able to communicate with your child and model language using AAC.
-
Feel confident in the way you customise, update and use your child’s device.Â
- See your child progress and become more comfortable using AAC to communicate.Â
You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

Community, comfort and confidence
Robust AAC is still relatively new and it can often be very overwhelming when you feel like you’re doing it all on your own.
You’re constantly advocating for your child and their right to communicate.Â
The AAC Advocates is a monthly membership platform created especially for parents and carers like you.Â
So you can finally receive the ongoing support you and your family need.
Whether you:Â
-
Are waiting to receive your AAC device.
- Just got an AAC device and aren’t sure how to set it up and get started.Â
- Have a device for a while, but feel like it’s not getting enough use.
- Are already comfortable with AAC but want to develop your knowledge and skills.
The AAC Advocates has something for everyone at each stage of their AAC journey.

Parent Feedback
This AACÂ membership has been essential to our AAC journey. It has strengthened my knowledge, skills and fluency as my son's AAC partner.
It has also made me feel more accountable to incorporate AAC in our daily lives and provided me with a valuable community of individuals also on this journey who are willing to help and share.Â
Parent FeedbackÂ
The AAC Advocates is a wonderful support.
It means that I can connect with other parents at different stages on the AAC journey.
It also provides a unique opportunity to access expert SLT guidance as the questions arise. I love the accessibility of the digital platform and WhatsApp.
 Making communication accessible
I'm Aoife, a highly specialist Speech & Language Therapist, founder of Sparking Speech, mum and creator of The AAC Advocates.
Every day, I see families struggling to navigate AAC alone while waiting lists grow longer.
Children and teenagers deserve the right to communicate, and I created The AAC Advocates to help parents and carers feel confident implementing AAC and empowering their child to communicate, no matter their age, stage or ability.
