Many Stories, One Voice is an international AAC and Literacy event for people who have communication difficulties and physical disabilities. People who would benefit from AAC.
AAC is the name for the many things that help people with communication difficulties, like talking boxes, computers, books and boards with letters and symbols, and sign language.
The writing Contest is part of International AAC Awareness Month in October, when people with speech, communication, and physical disabilites will read aloud stories, poems and essays from one big online collection, in libraries around the world.
Entries are welcome from all ages. People can work alone or in teams. They can have as much help as they need, including having their stories written for them.
The events are being arranged by the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication, ISAAC, http://www.isaac-online.org/.
There's a special website for Many Stories, One Voice events http://www.aacawareness.org/.
Don't forget to phone me to let me know if you are coming on 15 April and 17 April.
Chilton is a big venue but places are limited at Dipton.
