What is AAC?
Augmentative Communication in Practice logo
Augmentative Communication in Practice’s main activity is the organisation of an annual Study Day in the area of Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Study Days have been held at different venues in Scotland almost every year since 1991. This year’s Study Day will focus on the use of eye-pointing and eye-gaze to enhance communication.
We also organise other occasional events such as Family Days and Technology Days.
