20 October: 24 Hours AAC Online

October every year is AAC Awareness Month, a project of ISAAC, The International Society for Augmentative & Alternative Communication. People around the world hold events to show off and campaign for AAC for everyone with speech, language and motor impairments.

On 20 October 2010 there was a 24-hour chat on Skype and Facebook between people from different countries who shared ideas and resources. Everyone liked our animations The Language Stealers and Janitor Rap, our Equality Without Words and ALL 4 ALL campaign movies, and our newsletter Let's Face It! AAC specialists around the world use Language Stealers to teach teachers and speech therapists the importance of core words and literacy for ALL learners.
