The International Society for Alternative and Augmentative Communication (ISAAC) is collecting books, resource manuals, training DVDs and/or videos for distribution to ISAAC members from emerging AAC nations during its ISAAC 2012 conference. The event will be held in Pittsburgh, PA, July 28 - August 4, 2012.
If you have augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) books or other related material that you no longer use, or feel might help someone or some organization, this is your chance to clean off your shelves and make valuable resources available to others at the same time. By donating resources you will be directly supporting the growth of AAC throughout the world.
You can either drop off your donations at the ISAAC booth at the conference or, alternatively, send us a list of the books or other materials that you are able to offer. At the ISAAC BUILD meeting, we will then make this list available to people from developing countries. They can then each draw the name of one book that they would really like to receive. We will match you to the person from the developing country and ask you to mail the book directly to that person, via surface mail, to save costs.
If you have any questions, please email Juan Bornman
or Rajul Padmanabhan.
