Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) - Awareness Month

 Each October is International AAC Awareness Month. The goal is to raise awareness of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and to inform the public about the many different ways in which people communicate using AAC.

Augmentative and alternative communication encompasses the communication methods used to supplement or replace speech or writing for those with impairments in the production or comprehension of spoken or written language.

EPISD invites you to celebrate with us and help increase awareness. We hope that this information will facilitate your efforts to celebrate, educate, and spread the word in your community, not just in October, but all year.
