This adapted case report presents Seán, whose journey with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) started in the early preschool years and evolved and changed over the course of his childhood and adolescence. It presents insights from Seán himself, from his mother Gillian and from the speech and language therapist who was involved in Seán’s early engagement with AAC. Key themes emerging from these perspectives are the importance of families in supporting all aspects of communication and the critical role of recognising that AAC systems adapt and evolve as individuals face new challenges, acquire new skills, and enter new environments.
