What we do
We are here to support people who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to communicate, be included and heard in an equitable way.
Our website provides information to support people in accessing AAC Assessments Services to find the right AAC System that for them.
You can join us as a member to receive the Communication Matters Journal three times a year and access further information online and at our events. We offer AAC users and their families the first year of membership for free.
You can also support Communication Matters activities by donating or fundraising to fund our activities.
With the help of National Lottery funding, we are able to support and promote AAC Communication Clubs and Mentoring qualifications.
We promote and encourage research in the AAC field and AAC users, families, professionals and researchers are invited to join our Research Matters group for online meetings, newsletters and AAC Study Days.
