SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:AAC User Perspectives Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion featuring AAC users! Welcome to all!\n\nAccording to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association:\nAugmentative and Alternative Communication devices are used by individuals who cannot rely on their speech. Typically\, these individuals with expressive language impairment have disabilities like autism spectrum disorder\, cerebral palsy\, and others. AAC devices can also be used by those who need temporary assistance\, like those recovering from surgery. As the name suggests\, these devices are used to add to the individual's existing communication and give them the opportunity to fully realize their communication capabilities.\n\nAAC devices come in many different forms. Some lower tech options include pointing to letters\, pointing to pictures\, gestures/facial expressions\, and picture exchange communication systems. High tech options include using an app on a digital device and using a speech-generating device. One person's AAC may include one or multiple of these options\, they are all part of the communication system.\n\nInterested? Come learn more!\n\nGenerously made possible by the Larry Motola Linguistics Fund\, established to support the development of curriculum projects and research related to cognitive process and conditions\, and their interaction with language and neurodiversity.\n\nPlease RSVP here: https://forms.gle/qx6zRx41HvFvb5c29\n\nWHEN: April 29th\, 2026\n\nWHERE: Virtual (bit.ly/UMAACpanel)\n\nTIME: 1:30-3:30 PM EST
