At Communication Matters we support and celebrate all forms of communication - the people who use communication aids, the professionals and families that support them, and the companies that provide them.
We know that there are many individuals, groups and companies who should be celebrated for their contribution to the world of Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC). Communication Matters championed just some of these incredible achievements with our first ever AAC Awards on Friday 11th October 2019 which was a fantastic night. Our intention was to hold the ceremony every two years going forward and so we held a virtual event in September 2021. We are delighted to be back in-person to see everyone in Leeds for 2023 on 24th March.
The awards will continue our valued partnership with MEETinLEEDS, and together we want to raise the profile of AAC in the city and beyond!
We can’t wait to celebrate all your successes!
