Camp ImpAACt is dedicated to children (from 5 up to 22) who use AAC devices to assist with communication. Not only do we focus on enhancing camper’s use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication, moreover we provide the social, emotional, and developmental opportunities rarely catered to children with multiple disabilities. At this time, we are the only camp in our region offering one-on-one communication facilitation for AAC users. Each summer, our one-week camp draws in families from throughout the country.
