Developing knowledge and skills in the field of Augmentative & Alternative Communication

Meetings are held three times a year. You are welcome to join us.

 


Augmentative & Alternative Communication helps people with speech difficulties to have autonomous interactions and participation in social, academic, working and community life.

The Special Interest Group disseminates information about effective practices and news of current issues to professional practitioners and other interested people, including the people and families who use AAC. It encourages cooperation between related disciplines and acts as an advisory group for policy making organisations.
