Project Awards for AAC Users
The Augmentative Communication in Practice: Scotland Study Days are not intended as money-raising events, but they do occasionally make a small profit. Some of this money can be made available for the use of people in Scotland who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication in the form of Project Awards.
Projects must directly involve one or more users of an augmentative communication system and should provide opportunities to develop communication skills and encourage the use of AAC. In previous years people who use AAC have received awards to attend conferences. Awards have also been given to organise social events, to make an accessible drama, to support a school trip and for many other purposes.
The awards cannot be used for the purchase of a communication aid, or similar equipment, or for professional training. The closing date for applications to the current scheme is Monday 31st May 2010. Applicants should hear whether they have been successful by June 30th.
