Discreet AAC

Also known as: Discreet Assistive Communication, Wearable AAC

Augmentative and alternative communication devices designed to be socially unobtrusive and visually inconspicuous, in contrast to traditional tablet-based AAC systems that are physically prominent and easily identifiable. Discreet AAC encompasses wearable technologies such as smartglasses, earpieces, and pico-projectors that aim to reduce the social stigma associated with visible assistive devices while supporting communication in public settings without drawing unwanted attention.
