"Communication Without Speech" ISAAC supports and encourages the best possible communication methods for people who find communication difficult. It has groups of members in 14 countries. These groups are called Chapters. It also has members in 50 other countries. All these people have a "vision" that everyone in the world who could communicate more easily by using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), will be able to do so. For this vision to happen everywhere in the world, people who use AAC, their families, therapists, teachers, researchers, people who make equipment, and people in governments will have to work together.

SYMBOL SUPPORT

The ISAAC website can display Bliss, PCS or Rebus symbols so that people who use one of these symbol systems to communicate may be able to understand some of the information. If you choose to view this website with Widgit Literacy Symbols, you will see that the pages include symbol summaries. ISAAC wishes to thank Cate & Tina Detheridge of Widgit Software (assisted by Janet Larcher and others) for supporting this important work to symbolise the ISAAC website.Choose symbol system to display
