To achieve our mission and vision, ISAAC - Singapore develops and participates in a range of initiatives to support awareness of AAC and advocacy for the AAC Community. These include creating platforms for collaboration across stakeholders, conducting talks/webinars, and participating in conversations amongst community partners. Two of our flagship activities include AAC Also Can and ISAAC SG Connect. Join us as a member or follow us on social media to stay updated on these events!
