We are a Professional Learning Community for parents and professionals supporting individuals with complex communication needs.
#TalkingAAC is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) dedicated to providing high-quality professional learning.
Call for Presentations Open!
At #TalkingAAC, our vision is to get more people talking about AAC and talking with AAC. We believe that communication is an inherent human right; one that is currently denied to many people. Our vision is to break down barriers by providing knowledge, skill, and shared personal experience with AAC.
Each year, we invite members of the community to share their knowledge, skills, and lived experience with the #TalkingAAC community. Our core values are centered around making learning about augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) accessible to people. We recognize that our community includes people who use AAC, teachers, speech-language pathologists, administrators, families, therapists, and other supporting team members. We invite people with all kinds of experiences to submit a proposal to present at #TalkingAAC.
Please submit your proposal at bit.ly/Present24TalkingAAC by April 10, 2024.
