We are delighted to announce some very exciting news. Communication Matters has been successful in receiving funding from @TNLComFund for developing and supporting mentoring for #AAC users and other disabled young people.

@VickiBostonSLP I think the main takeaway message that we got from the Autistic AAC users who also have some speech, is that speech can be very unreliable. They need access to AAC and they need to be respected for when they can speak or when they choose to use AAC.

@BronwynHemsley @VickiBostonSLP These quotes were all taken from AAC users who type independently to communicate.

@MeredithAllan @VickiBostonSLP @USSAAC I am hoping to present about our project at AGOSCI this year!
