The International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC) was founded in 1983 by a group of therapists, teachers, people using AAC, parents, engineers and other professionals from many countries. ISAAC Canada is one of many national chapters of ISAAC. It aims to make people aware of the potential that AAC has to change the lives of individuals around the world who are unable to speak, and to find new approaches and technologies to help people communicate in different ways.
