***You do not have to be an AAC user to attend this group. Caregivers welcome!***
New to AAC or just getting started? This 1-hour session is for you! We’ll explore accessories and built-in accessibility features so you can get the most out of your AAC device. Discover tools like a weighted stylus, tap delay, and keyboard size adjustments -- and get tips for using them in daily life. Whether you have visual or mobility difficulties, this session will help you personalize your AAC experience to make communication easier and more effective. Caregivers are welcome!
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
