How to use the "thumbs_up" symbol in AAC

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) gives children who are minimally speaking a way to communicate using pictures instead of, or alongside, spoken words. Place the "thumbs_up" symbol on a communication board where your child can reach it, model tapping it while you say the word out loud, and celebrate every time they use it. Consistency matters more than perfection — the same symbol in the same place builds confidence.
