Augmentative and Alternative Communication Centers to Establish National Training (AACCENT) Act
From Family Voices Washington, DC Update
On September 27th, Senator Casey (D-PA) and Representative Dingell (D-MI-5) introduced the Augmentative and Alternative Communication Centers to Establish National Training (AACCENT) Act (S.2904 / H.R. 5705). The bill will establish three national resource centers to help people with various disabilities get connected to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. AAC devices are any tool, technology, or service that helps people who use little to no verbal language communicate. The national resource centers will improve access to AAC devices, provide resources for AAC device users and their families, and increase the capacity and leadership skills of AAC device users.
