AAC Family Chat - Wednesday, September 15th
The AAC Family Chat is intended for caregivers of students who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. AAC can range from using pictures, gestures, signs, words, or technology to communicate. We invite you to join other families and your LISD AAC Specialists as we chat about helping students communicate using AAC. Join us from 6:00 - 7:00pm. RSVP here.
If you are unsure about whether or not your child uses AAC, your child’s teacher or speech-language pathologist should be able to help you.
Contact LISD AAC Specialists if you have any questions:
