The United States Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (USSAAC) has launched a new campaign called “Amplifying AAC Voices,” designed to provide people who rely on AAC more opportunities to be heard. The initial initiative involves the creation of an online “AAC Speakers Connection,” a web portal that facilitates the matchmaking between AAC speakers and those that wish to engage them as paid speakers for a wide variety of purposes.
If you or someone you know use AAC and enjoy public speaking, consider joining USSAAC’s AAC Speaker Connection! Sign up at https://speaker.ussaac.org/ You can use this site to find a speaker as well.
You can also participate in USSAAC’s first fundraiser to support and maintain the portal: a Virtual Auction taking place from October 1-15, 2021. CLICK HERE to take a sneak peek at the items collected for the auction so far!
