October is AAC Awareness Month so I’m going to try to post about this at least a few times a week. Starting with the upcoming sales on apps. Lauren Enders Gonzalez always makes a great graphic for this event! #AugComm #SLPeeps #BskySpeechies #AACAwareness2025

Graphic displaying all the sales on AAC apps & services that are happening on various days/weeks in October. I don’t think I can transcribe all of that into this alt text space but please DM if you need more information
