The use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), is growing in popularity but still feels like a misunderstood and under utilised resource in the disability community. In September, we host a CPSN webinar on the advances of AAC. AAC digital devices enable non-verbal members of the community to speak with the use of technology. More than an advancement in technology, these devices for many represent a step forward in the disability rights movement, in that they give many disabled persons a voice never expressed.
