LAMP

The Center for AAC & Autism is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children diagnosed with autism who face challenges in verbal communication. In the U.S., a staggering 1 in 59 children are diagnosed with autism, and many struggle to express their needs and thoughts verbally due to severe speech and language disabilities. The center specializes in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), empowering these children to communicate effectively and develop social relationships, which is crucial for their education and emotional well-being.

One of the key programs offered is the Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) approach, designed to support functional communication for non-verbal individuals. The center provides various services, including LAMP training, certification programs, and resources to support families and educators. With a focus on research-based practices and success stories, the Center for AAC & Autism strives to ensure that every child has the ability to voice their perspectives and actively engage with the world around them.
