Welcome to #AACfamily Friday (week 1)! Wondering what #AACfamily is? Read about it here. For more #AACfamily photos and fun, check out Uncommon Sense Blog after you are done here.

Scott Palm is a local adult AAC user. When he heard about the #AACfamily Fridays, he immediately sent a link to share about his recent trip to Las Vegas for the Star Trek Convention 2014. It is a great story about what an individual can make happen when a proficient AAC communicator. I hope you take a moment to follow the link and read the blog post (there is also a video clip). Scott runs his own business and is an active advocate for AAC and AT from a user's perspective. Learn more about him through his website and this profile.
Here is a video (a day in the life) Scott put on YouTube several years ago:
