I’m writing a book about AAC! Would you be happy to answer some questions about your experiences? If so, please complete this form docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… I’ve included a video in case people want to show to AAC users. If the form isn’t accessible for you just drop me a DM.

October is AAC awareness month so I thought I'd re-share the four Ps model we use to describe the different types of AAC at @barnsleyAT. I prefer these terms to 'low tech' and 'high tech' as they give equal value to all forms of AAC, which people might use alone or together.
