AAC isn't just about a device.

It's about being able to:
☕ Order a coffee
😂 Tell a joke
🏫 Participate in class
👋 Say hello to a friend
❤️ Share what's important

Every day, AAC helps people communicate in ways that work for them.
What do you wish more people knew about AAC?

Last Friday, our team had the pleasure of returning to Chatterbox Therapy Services for a follow-up AAC training workshop. Building on our introductory session, we explored topics including TD Snap and Boardmaker integration, eye gaze access, and real-world client case studies provided by the team.

One of the biggest highlights was seeing clinicians discover features within TD Snap that they hadn't yet explored, including visual supports, literacy tools, self-regulation resources, and the ability to quickly create low-tech communication materials directly from the software.

Thank you to the Chatterbox Therapy Services team for your engagement, thoughtful discussions and commitment to supporting AAC users. We love working alongside clinicians to build confidence and expand communication opportunities for the people they support.

'Will AAC stop my child from talking?'

Research shows that using AAC won't prevent someone from developing speech. In fact, AAC may encourage speech production by giving the individual more opportunities to communicate, interact and build language skills.

October is AAC Awareness Month and we're helping to raise awareness of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and challenge some of the common misconceptions surrounding it.

October is AAC Awareness Month
Throughout October, we're helping to raise awareness of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and challenge some of the common misconceptions surrounding it.

MYTH: AAC is complicated and difficult to use.
✅ TRUTH: Tobii Dynavox AAC devices are created with user-friendly interfaces that can be customised based on each person’s comfort level with technology and are compatible with accessories that make device use more functional.

This AAC Awareness Month, join us as we celebrate communication, connection and the right for every person to have a voice.

Yesterday, Bas Tijdhof was the star of our all-hands meeting as we reluctantly said farewell and celebrated the remarkable contribution he has made to Link Assistive and the assistive communication community across Australia and New Zealand.

The team shared fond memories and insightful stories, reflecting on the substantial impact Bas has had not only on the AAC community, but also on his team, colleagues, family and now lifelong friends. It was a bittersweet day as tears flowed and we wished Bas well on his next adventure.

Bas' passion for custom computer access and communication solutions began in 1999, when he saw first-hand the life-changing difference the right technology could make.

Guided by a strong belief in the potential of assistive communication, Bas founded Link Assistive in 2008. What began in a spare bedroom grew into a trusted provider of assistive communication solutions, supporting individuals with communication and mobility challenges, as well as their families, caregivers and professionals.

Throughout that journey, Bas remained committed to a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves the opportunity to communicate, connect and participate.
In 2024, Link Assistive joined the Tobii Dynavox family, marking an important new chapter and strengthening our shared commitment to communication, independence and inclusion.

As Bas now begins his own next chapter, we want to thank him for his vision, leadership and dedication. The relationships he has built, the values he has championed and the foundation he leaves behind will continue to shape our work for many years to come.

Thank you, Bas. We wish you every happiness in whatever comes next.

It's always a pleasure to connect with the next generation of Speech Pathologists!

Recently, Kristina and Leigha visited the University of Technology Sydney to deliver a session on Choosing and Trialling Communication Devices: Working with Suppliers. Together with students, they explored the role of assistive technology suppliers in the AAC journey, considerations when trialling communication devices, and the importance of collaboration in supporting individuals with complex communication needs.

Students also had the opportunity to get hands-on with a range of Tobii Dynavox communication solutions and learn more about the technologies that can help people communicate, participate and connect in everyday life.

A big thank you to UTS for inviting us to be part of this valuable learning experience. We love sharing knowledge and supporting future clinicians as they build confidence in AAC and assistive technology.
