Hosted by Jenna O'Brien

Meeting overview 

AAC Awareness Month is celebrated around the world each October. The goal is to raise awareness of AAC and the different ways in which people communicate. ISAAC's 2025 theme for AAC Awareness Month is "Innovation, Inclusion, and Advocacy in AAC". 

Join us online - everyone is welcome!

Come as you are and connect with AAC communicators of all ages in a relaxed and friendly online space. Whether you use AAC, support someone who does, or are simply curious to learn more, this is a great chance to meet others, share experiences, and chat together. 

We welcome you to connect, however that looks for you. You might want to share your AAC story, a book or TV show you’ve been enjoying, post a photo of what you’ve been up to recently, AAC celebrations, chat with others, or listen in.
