Let’s define our term: NAACHO stands for Networking for AAC and Hang Out.

NWACS is here to help create some social events for us to be a more fun and connected community! People who work with AAC in their professions or as users almost always have:

• stories to share

• experience worth passing on

• or mutual struggles.

Sometimes we have a need for support from colleagues in our community. For advice, for referrals, to commiserate or celebrate, so let’s get to know each other! This year we can look forward to events indoors and outdoors in May, July, August, and October. These won’t be super formal, but may include some fun AACtivities such as:

• yappy hour (using AAC only)

• actually eating nachos

• or engaging in creative projects.

Stay tuned on our social media page.

If you have fun ideas, please write us or comment below! We look forward to getting to know you.
