Chatter Matters

Description

Through our partnership with Variety - the Children's Charity of Wisconsin, graduate speech pathology students and other student volunteers and instructors host this overnight camp for children who use augmentative or alternative communication (AAC) and their immediate family members. What makes Chatter Matters unique is that it’s just like a traditional summer camp, but the activities are fully adapted for AAC users ages 5-15. Through activities like arts & crafts, adaptive sports, yard games, bowling, dance parties, and talent shows, campers improve social use of their communication device while building lasting friendships. By including parents and siblings to attend camp, families have fun creating lasting memories and connections with other families of children who use AAC.
