According to the Australian Bureau of Statistic, 1.2 million Australians have a communication disability. Every day people in our society use options other than speech to communicate.
International AAC Awareness Month is held every year in October. The aim is to raise awareness of the general public about AAC and the people who use it. Each year there is a different theme for the month.
