🧡 October is AAC Awareness Month - a time to celebrate, inform, and advocate!

This year’s ISAAC theme is “Innovation, Inclusion and Advocacy in AAC”, and we are proud to stand alongside AAC users, families, and professionals across the world to raise awareness and promote communication access for all.

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) includes all the different ways people communicate without spoken words - from communication books to high-tech devices like Grid for iPad.

At The Speech Den, we’re passionate about supporting AAC users in a way that honours their voice, autonomy, and individuality. Every person deserves a way to express themselves, to connect, to be heard - and AAC makes that possible.

Whether it’s a robust device or a paper-based board, what matters is that it works for them. One size never fits all - but connection is always the goal.

Let’s use this month to celebrate innovation, push for inclusion, and advocate loudly for accessible communication. 🧡

So yesterday marked the final day of the GLP conference 2025

What an amazing 4 days it has been
So much to reflect on, so much learning, so much evidence and new ideas 💡
Yesterday was the turn of our keynote speaker Jaime,
She captured so much information through story, her story. Her session created a lot of interest and ‘buzz’ and as promised Jaime responded to the questions . In her her own narrated, scripted way, I couldn’t feel more grateful and emotional tbh
Her writing gives so much insight, each question response a story that truly acknowledges the complexity of language acquisition for GLPs
Thank you Jaime, what a privilege
