Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
AAC is a term that's used to describe various methods of communication that can help people who are unable to use verbal speech to communicate.
CALL Scotland was commissioned by NHS Education for Scotland (NES) through the A Right to Speak initiative, to develop materials to help raise awareness of AAC and ways of providing communication support, aimed primarily at people who have little or no previous experience of communication disability.
The 'A Right to Speak' Report, commissioned by Scottish Government, was published in June 2012. Funding was made available for a three year period (2012-2015) to raise awareness of AAC, to enhance the provision and support of AAC services and equipment, and to build a base ensuring a sustainable future for good quality AAC services in Scotland.
