For individuals
who are communicatively impaired, the use of
augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and
assistive technology are often critical in
facilitating independence, fostering social and
emotional well being as well as expanding and
enriching activities of daily living.
Bringing together AAC consumers, family members and
professionals, the annual NCACA conference continues
to provide a forum for learning and sharing
essential information. This year's conference “AAC
and Autism: Solving the Puzzle Together”, celebrates
29 years of excellence and innovation in
augmentative communication in North Carolina.
 Thursday,
February 16, we are fortunate to have Billy Ogletree,
PhD presenting, “What to do with Students with
Significant Intellectual and Social Limitations: AAC
Applications for Individuals with Greater Needs” and
"New Directions for AAC: Are old Assumptions
Valid?."
There will be 7 Make-it-Take-it workshops at the
end of the day to choose from.
Friday, February 17, choose among 20 workshops and
presentations on iPad Technology, AAC for school
age/adults, new products, AAC in schools, and AAC &
literacy.
Don't miss out on these informative and practical
educational offerings.

speech/language pathologists, occupational
therapists, physical therapists, psychologists,
educators, para-professionals, families, and
