ImpAACt Voices is creating a movement so that people who use AAC have a major voice at the table.

An Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) user-led community that builds relationships between individuals with speech-related disabilities and their local communities.

We support, empower, and connect AAC users.

Today, we’re grateful to share a Giving Tuesday reflection from Lance McLemore, a respected thought leader and a core part of our ImpAACt Voices community. Lance leads, presents, and brings powerful insight into professional spaces around the world.

Lance recently presented at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Convention, where he reflected on what it meant to reconnect with friends who are part of our wider AAC community. His words remind us why this work matters: creating spaces where people feel connected, supported, and empowered to lead.

Here is a moment he shared:

“It was a very nice reunion. There was plenty of good food, lively conversation, and laughter. It’s a rare opportunity to be among friends, one that I always relish.”
— Lance McLemore

Hear From Alma This Giving Tuesday.

Today, we’re grateful to spotlight Alma Silver, a leader whose powerful vision continues to shape and strengthen our community.

Here’s what she shared:

“Over this past year, I have enjoyed becoming more involved in the AAC community by volunteering with ImpAACt Voices and attending the Closing The Gap conference.

I believe the world will change for the better once all AAC users are empowered to amplify their voices, speak their truth, and proudly claim leadership roles in every space they enter. I am excited to continue partnering with ImpAACt Voices and doing my part to help drive that change forward.”

Alma’s message reflects what ImpAACt Voices has built, and continues to strengthen with your support: community connection, leadership development, and spaces where AAC users feel valued and empowered.

Our Giving Tuesday goal is $5,000 to support our 2026 AAC user-led programs, including the Monthly Hangout, Chat & Check-In Hangout, Happy Hour Hangout, the Star-Guest Speaker Series, and our new Family & Caregiver Series.

It’s Our 5th Birthday!

What started in 2020 as an idea of creating a space where AAC users can connect, build friendships, and lead together—has grown into a community all its own.

Over the past five years, we’ve brought together hundreds of AAC users, families, professionals, and community allies through AAC user-led community events and Hangouts. Together, we’ve built a place where AAC users can share experiences, strengthen communication, and know they are not alone.

A big thank you to the volunteers who show up month after month to keep this community thriving, and to each of you who support ImpAACt Voices and help this AAC user-led community grow.

If you’d like to celebrate with us, consider giving a birthday gift of any amount. Your support helps keep ImpAACt Voices strong and growing.
