Carving Connections: A Discussion Exploring Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Human Rights

As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, we gather together in the spirit of growth and transformation. Join us for a discussion on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) as a fundamental human right.

Everyone has the right to communicate, be understood, participate in the community, and receive an education. Our panel of diverse interested parties will discuss how we can collaborate to empower voices and protect the rights of those who rely on the use of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) in all areas of life—at home, school, and in the community.

In this inclusive and interactive session, we invite you to bring your questions, ideas, and your favorite warm drink, as we support and navigate the ever-changing landscape of AAC.
