October is AAC Awareness Month. Last week our AAC Team had an awareness stand in our canteen in Clontarf. Our games, using different types of AAC modes were enjoyed by all. What a great way to celebrate the end of AAC Awareness month.

Let’s get the message out - #AACAcceptance

AAC doesn’t hinder speech development 🚨In fact it supports communication, speech & language development, understanding, expression, promotes independence & self-autonomy & so much more!

For AAC Awareness month I'm sharing some facts about AAC 🧡🖤🎃 #hearmehearmyAAC #AACireland #AACAware23 #aac

My AAC for AAC is to listen to non speakers. Check out the FB group ‘ask me I’m an AAC user’ and my Treat is a short clip from the first moment my daughter was able to greet her Irish speaking Mamó in her native language - draíochtúil🥰 #AACAware23

Thanks @centralremedial MDT for great overview #AgeingandAACstudyday @AACGroupIre

[AACGroupIRE @AACGroupIre]

Wonderful to hear the perspective of Olivia, an AAC user about using AAC across the lifespan. A lovely way to wrap up our study day about #AgeingandAAC

A huge thank you to all our presenters today!

#AgeingandAACstudyday

[AACGroupIRE @AACGroupIre]

Last but not least, we have Clare, Ciadhra and Mary from the @centralremedial, talking about growing older with a physical disability and #AAC

#AgeingandAACstudyday

[AACGroupIRE @AACGroupIre]

@TalkingMats can be used as a 'catalyst for change'.
As SLTs we need to reflect on our own ability to be effective listeners to support our client's voices to be heard

[SLT Aisling @SLTAisling]

Love it where practitioners aren't afraid to discuss the pros and cons of an approach @TalkingMats #AgeingandAACstudyday @AACGroupIre
