Our Mission

For our 10th annual conference, the Indiana AAC Summit featured special guest Speakers, who presented an all-day session on Literacy for users of AAC.

Indiana AAC Summit 2024 focused on Innovating Through Collaboration and provided multiple sessions for Attendees from local presenters. 

Indiana AAC Summit 2023 continued our traditions of local Speakers and multiple sessions for Attendees, including topics such as improving services to individuals who are deaf/blind and creating new opportunities for 

AAC device users who are beyond school age.

We Are Back!

Indiana AAC Summit 2022 was a great success and we enjoyed seeing everyone in person again.  With excellent presenters and Attendees from all over the state, the Summit is back!

Refresh Renew Reflect

Feeling Zoomed out?  Tired of staring at a screen? So are we!  It's still hard to plan in-person events; let's take a year off to recharge.  There will be no conference this year.  Follow us on Facebook for details for next year's conference.

Due to 2020's unusual circumstances, we have decided to offer online trainings for FREE.

For the Indiana AAC Summit's five-year anniversary, we sponsored an internationally-known speaker in a very large venue, heard from local presenters, and had cake.

Our 2018 conference expanded our breakout sessions and included discussion panels.

A larger venue in 2017 for more Attendees allowed all-group trainings as well as breakout sessions.

The second Indiana AAC Summit, with even more Attendees, 18 different breakout sessions, and T-shirts!

Our first Indiana AAC Summit, with far more Attendees than expected!

For our 10th Summit, we featured Ashley Larisey, MS-CCC/SLP, and Lauren Sheehan, M.ED, ATP, to present Literacy in AACtion:

Engaging and Empowering Learners at Every Life Stage.

We resumed the Summit after COVID with these two energetic presenters and their interactive session "It Takes Two to Tango: Perfecting Essential Partner Skills for AAC Success".

In celebration of our five-year anniversary, Dr. Caroline Musselwhite provided an all-day session entitled "AAC All Day Long! Scaffolding Conversation, Academics, and Interaction – Apps Included!".
