State of AAC in 2024
Thank you for your help with this project! The State of AAC is an annual report that combines information from experts, research and the general community to create a birds-eye view of the status of the AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) industry over the last year. Your contribution to this project will make a big difference, and we will include everyone who'd like to be included in a special thank-you section of the report.

There is enough happening in the AAC industry each year that it can be hard for everyone to keep up. We have seen first-hand how knowledge and proficiency in AAC implementation and strategy is not evenly distributed  around the country or the world. This report is part of our ongoing effort to address those shortcomings.

We are collecting responses from AAC users, family members, therapists, aides and anyone else involved in the world of AAC! We would appreciate any help you can provide. All fields are optional and open-ended, so please share what you can and to the level of detail that works for you!

Please share this survey in your online or private communities, the more people who contribute the greater the impact we can have!
