(AAC) in the community (Sept)

I just caught wind of an outing that happens I believe once a month that is specifically for people who use an Alternative Augmentative Communication (AAC) device.  It is called "Out & About" and the contact information says to contact Caroline Musselwhite or Krista Howard.  It is my understanding, thus far, you must contact one of these two people to get on their "Out & About" email list.
Also I found that she has a lot of additional resources if you Google her name.
Caroline: carmussel@cox.net
Krista Howard: Kmhoward22486@cox.net
There is an activity this next Thursday (9/15/2011) with the flyer information below:


                                            Westside Group Meeting
We welcome AAC users of all ages, using any communication device or language system
  • What: We will have a scavenger hunt!!
  • When: Thursday, September 15, 2011 4:30 – 6:30 pm

If this sounds like an activity you are interested in participating in then be sure to email Dr. Caroline Musselwhite or Krista Howard and ask to be put on the "Out & About" email list.
