AAC Voices started as Angel Voices in 2014, a group for young children with Angelman Syndrome who were learning to commmunicate using Alternative and Augmentative Communication or AAC. Originally held in families living rooms we moved location three times that first year and had to split into two groups to accommodate all of those who wanted to attend. At the same time Kate Ahern's private practice providing educational services for AAC users with complex needs and presenting keynote addresses and workshops was growing.
