What they Say about Connecting to Communities

“Connecting to Communities brings human rights legislation into everyday life for people who use AAC and for those who support them. Parents, teachers, and clinicians will find this to be a valuable tool for promoting community participation for people who rely on AAC. ”

Pat Mirenda, Ph.D., University of British Columbia

“Connecting to Communities informs people about their right to meaningful, authentic and effective communication in their everyday lives and it also highlights the associated responsibilities that underlie these rights. Adolescents and adults need to prepare to meet their unique communication challenges and to exercise their rights. This resource helps pave the way to greater independence, opportunities, participation and freedom. ”

Sarah Blackstone, Ph.D., Augmentative Communication News

“Connecting to Communities gives clinicians practical ideas on how to support clients around increased communication access in their communities. It is wonderful to have this resource in both French and English.”

Tracy Shepherd, President, ISAAC Canada

“Connecting to Communities contains “real world” advice. People who use AAC, as well as those support them will both enjoy and learn from this timely and interesting resource.”

David McNaughton, Ph.D., Penn State University
