AAC Groups
|
AAC Voices Groups are now in our fifth year! We meet monthly for fun AAC learning sessions. A typical session involves a welcome song, a story, a game or craft and a group writing experience followed by a closing song. AAC users attend with a caregiver who assists them in using their talker and participating in the group. Core Vocabulary and Social/Pragmatic Language is focused on throughout the sessions. We now offer groups in Eastern Massachusetts, North of Boston, Metro-West and Western Massachusetts in Pioneer Valley. Scroll down for information about the groups.
