Lauren Enders Gonzales

Engaging AAC is an education and support brand focused on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), communication access, and learning. Founded around the work of Lauren Enders Gonzales, M.A., CCC-SLP, the organization aims to help people communicate in ways that are meaningful and self-directed, while equipping their communication partners with informed, trustworthy support. Its approach starts with the individual: honoring the words they want to say, the communication methods that work for them, and the space and time they need to learn and grow without pressure to perform.

Engaging AAC offers practical guidance, courses, articles, tools, downloads, and other resources for families, professionals, AAC supporters, and communicators. Topics include AAC basics, literacy, play, communication barriers, and AAC apps and organizations. Learning is presented as an active process: observe, try, notice what works, adjust, and keep practicing. The brand also provides community and connection through its online community and AAC Action Squad, alongside support options for everyday communication challenges.
