III International Conference on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

- LATIN AMERICA

 August 21 - 25, 2007

This conference will be the third of our bi-annual conferences promoting AAC in South and Latin America.

It will take place in the enchanting city of Cusco, Peru and will feature an AAC courses presented by North and South American professionals, as well as presentations and posters from around Peru and the region. Once again, we hope to have with us, as keynote speakers, one or more adult-AAC users who will offer their perspectives on the importance and use of AAC in everyday life. We will also offer complimentary information on assistive technology and seating and positioning for augmentative communication and other needs.

Check out the conference web site (in Spanish) for more information.    

Our first AAC conference took place May 26-30, 2003, in conjunction with a multidisciplinary conference on Rehabilitation and Developmental Disabilities (also organized by Equip KIDS). Our second conference took place November 4th-8th, 2005 and was bigger and better than the first. We have great expectations for this, our third conference. We would like to thank all of the speakers, volunteers and participants who made each these conferences such a success.
