The AAC Club was founded in the spring of 2021 by a group of Communication Sciences and Disorders majors who were passionate about learning how to serve individuals who rely on aided AAC for effective and efficient communication. The founding board, recognizing the continuing evolution, complexity, and importance of aided AAC was dissatisfied by the lack of exposure that undergraduate students had to the field. Inspired by a desire to learn more, educate others, and support other AAC-related organizations the students founded the AAC Club with the help of Dr. Lisa Erwin-Davidson.
To serve as an avenue for university students to learn about aided augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and to serve as a general information resource on AAC for the university and local community.
