The International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC) established International AAC Awareness Month in October 2007. It is celebrated around the world each October. The goal is to:

raise awareness of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and
to inform the public about the many different ways in which people communicate.

ISAAC has chosen “Say what? Sharing your most memorable moments with AAC” as this year’s theme for International AAC Awareness Month. This is an invitation to share about the “unexpected things that happen while learning, using, supporting, and researching” AAC. ISAAC also asks that we use the hashtag #AACaware23 on social media.

Take a moment this month to share your stories with the world!
