October is the International AAC Awareness month!
PrAACticialAAC.org has many resources to help raise awareness of AAC and resources for those who have devices.
This site also has a printable file flip chart called "Everyone Deserves a Voice" AAC Strategies for Success.
Here is a blurb from the pamphlet:
Students who use AAC need their communication systems within arms reach at all times. If you can see the student, you should also be able to see their AAC. Its never okay to turn it off or take it away. For students to learn to use AAC, they need to see adults & peers using it, too. Immerse them in an environment that is rich in AAC use throughout the day. Point to the AAC symbols as you speak. Use the AAC devise or app OR make a non-electoronic mock-up.
We have a laminated version of this flip chart in our lobby at all times.
However, during this month we will have multiple on the desk for you to take home and share with friends and family!
