#TalkingAAC annual conference

“#TalkingAAC is the only conference of its kind in Michigan - focusing exclusively on topics related to augmentative/alternative communication (AAC). This event is presented by a non-profit organization founded by a coalition of AT/AAC professionals from schools across the state of Michigan. #TalkingAAC is open to teachers, therapists, staff, families, and other members of the community in roles supporting individuals with complex communication needs.

Each day of the conference includes a keynote presentation. While the regular session focus on the "what" and the "how" of AAC, the keynote presentations focus on the "why." We believe in listening to the perspectives of people who use AAC and their families. Each year we select speakers who are parents or AAC users to share their perspective with the #TalkingAAC community.

Besides a daily keynote presentation, attendees will select from a variety of topics over the course of this two-day event. Regular sessions are 75-minutes in length, allowing time for learning and discussion. A vendor space will be available for attendees to ask questions, try out equipment, and learn about new forms of technology. The cost for the two-day conference is $200.”
