Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) refers to any method of communication that supplements or replaces spoken speech — from gesture and picture boards to high-tech speech-generating devices. AAC is for anyone who needs additional support to communicate effectively and participate fully in their world.

Cadence AAC offers both virtual and in-person services. Virtual services are available throughout California. In-person services are available in San Jose, the South Bay, Peninsula, and select East Bay communities. Travel fees may apply.

Cadence AAC is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. Documentation can be provided for families seeking out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance provider.

Medicare has specific requirements for speech-language pathology services. If you have Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan, please let us know before scheduling so we can determine whether Cadence can provide the requested service under your coverage.

Visit our Get Started page to request either a 60-minute initial clinical consultation or a free 15-minute introductory call. The consultation is for individualized clinical guidance; the introductory call is for brief questions about services, availability, pricing, or scheduling.
