Hello there and a big fáilte to you from us
here on INTERACT - the Interactive Augmentative Communication Tete a
Tete. We're a special interest group for augmentative communication,
and we'd love to hear from you.
Whether you're someone who uses AAC technology, or
knows someone who uses/needs to use this technology, INTERACT is for you.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term,
Augmentative and Alternative Communication, it is used to refer to
any system (hi tech, low tech or no tech) used by a person to enable
them to communicate more effectively and efficiently. Many people use
AAC. People whose speech is unclear due to a birth injury, and people
who acquire a communication disability.
This Listserv aims to bring together people from all
manner of different perspectives: people who use AAC, family members,
personal assistants, therapists, teachers, researchers, and anyone
else with an urge to contribute. This is your forum, your opportunity
to discuss, debate, argue, and ruminate on all things AAC.
So, come on in. Gather round, and pitch in your
tuppence worth. Every contribution is welcome!
