***You do not have to be an AAC user to attend this group. Caregivers welcome!***

Join us for December’s session of the Empowered Communication with AAC Series as we explore strategies for using AAC to build confidence and independence in social settings. We will share practical AAC tips and techniques for navigating conversations in public places, such as family gatherings, community events, restaurants, and more. Attendees will learn how to use AAC to engage comfortably in social interactions, with a focus on maintaining meaningful connections in new or busy environments.

Sessions are hosted through The Lingraphica Community - A place for individuals with various communication challenges and their care partners to connect, share, and offer support. The Lingraphica Community consists of multiple, diagnosis-specific online communities. Each individual community has a separate membership base, live online meetup sessions, and engagement opportunities.

Virtual Connections is a free program from The Lingraphica Community & Aphasia Recovery Connection that offers daily Zoom calls for people with aphasia and caregivers. Virtual Connections is not a speech therapy program, but rather virtual conversation and support groups for people with aphasia and caregivers.

Sessions are hosted by speech pathologists, music therapists, rehab professionals, and aphasia experts. Session topics include travel, hobbies, book clubs, food, holidays, music, and more!

Virtual Connections’ mission is to bring people living with aphasia together from all over the world. We are committed to improving quality of life while eliminating isolation by providing social connection, support, and educational experiences.
