About the Project

Oct 25, 2010 – Feb. 28, 2011

Augmentative Communication Community Partnerships Canada (ACCPC) is launching a free, online, moderated discussion forum to explore accessibility to justice services for people who have communication disabilities and who have limited or no speech. The forum is not a “live” discussion. You will be able to read messages, post questions, share your opinions and experiences at a time that is convenient to you.

Join us for discussions about communication supports for victim / witnesses with communication disabilities so that they can provide accurate and reliable information, have their testimony recorded in ways that safeguard the integrity of their intended meaning and have equal access to the full range of justice services in their communities.

This forum will be of interest to legal professionals, police, legal aid clinics, legal educators, accessibility coordinators, victim witness services, disability advocates, people with communication disabilities, speech language pathologists and people who work in the area of augmentative and alternative communication.
