ISAAC Virtual Event 2025: Innovation, Inclusion, and Advocacy in AAC
1 hour
/ daily
-
Following the success of ISAAC’s Virtual Event 2024, we’re planning an exciting event again this year! Join us for ISAAC’s Virtual Event 2025 – “Innovation, Inclusion, and Advocacy in AAC.” The conference will focus on advancing the field of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) by exploring cutting-edge research, technology advancements, and inclusive practices. We’ll bring together persons who use AAC and their families, researchers, practitioners, engineers, vendors, and advocates to discuss communication access, self-determination, mental health, education, and global perspectives, fostering collaboration and driving meaningful change in the field of AAC. Through lectures, interactive sessions, panel discussions, and virtual demonstrations, you’ll gain insights into current research, technological innovations, and real-world applications that empower persons who use AAC worldwide. ISAAC needs student volunteers online to moderate sessions, and to provide a bit of Zoom tech support for each session, such as making sure that captioning and recording is activated.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
Volunteers will gain exposure to the field of Augmentative and Alternative Communication, or AAC. Sessions will be given by persons who use AAC, their family members, researchers, and professionals in the field, such as Speech Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists. This opportunity will appeal to individuals who are interested in volunteering for disability related causes in general, or for those considering an education or career in this area.
