International AAC Awareness Month is observed every October to raise awareness and educate the public about Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). The month is dedicated to facilitating expression for individuals with unique communication needs, empowering them to connect and understand others. Activities during this month include learning about AAC, hosting educational events, and sharing information on social media to promote understanding of various communication methods, such as sign language and communication devices. The initiative encourages involvement from organizations and individuals alike, with past themes focusing on memorable experiences and solidarity in communication. It aims to highlight the importance of AAC in supporting natural speech development and reducing frustration associated with communication challenges.
