Benefits of Summer Camp - AAC

For children and adults with communication or developmental disorders, summer camp is opportunity to interact with others in a fun, nurturing, and safe environment. 

Camp Jabber Jaw is a Summer Camp hosted at Mississippi State University. It is specifically for children using Augmentative and Alternative Communication. (AAC.) 

In an article regarding the camp, a speech pathologist mentioned that parents often tell her that their children hesitate to use their device at school because it makes them "different" from their classmates.  

This summer camp gave these children the opportunity to connect with peers who also use devices to communicate, helping them overcome those hesitations.
