AAC Voice

AAC Voice The group is based in New South Wales and is open to everyone interested in learning about and discussing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)

AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. People who use AAC to express themselves constantly battle with society's stereotypes. We often get mistaken for being deaf, incompetent and blatantly dismissed. Unlike other disabilities, such as the Deaf community and the Blind community, people, who can't speak don't have a publicly recognised support network. AAC Voice is a group that

hopes to provide that "missing link". The group is based in New South Wales and is open to everyone, who is interested in learning about and discussing AAC. It is run by a group of people who use AAC and know the struggles associated with it.

Our Story

AAC Voice works to raise awareness of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and to support the social inclusion of people who use AAC to communicate.

AAC methods include sign language, communication boards and books, and a wide range of computer systems. AAC users typically can't talk because of a disability, but they have plenty to say!

People who use AAC to express themselves constantly battle with society's stereotypes. People often assume that AAC users are deaf or that they have an intellectual disability. AAC users are often ignored or treated with disrespect.

Public awareness of speech disabilities is not high. Many people don’t know how to interact with AAC users. AAC Voice aims to provide a publicly recognised support network for people who can't speak, and to raise awareness of their needs and abilities.
