Network and support for children and families using communication aids

Welcome to the
1 Voice Website

Updated 25th April 2008

If you are a child, family or adult who uses a communication aid, a
professional who works with alternative or augmentative
communication (AAC), a valued supporter of 1 Voice, or just finding out more about AAC, you are welcome at this site.

Many children and adults have plenty to say, but are unable to control their mouth muscles to speak clearly. They can use aids such as
pictures, written words and technology to communicate. This is known as AAC (alternative or augmentative communication).

1 Voice takes a family and social perspective on communication and recognises the great need for adult role models to inspire children and families alike. 1 Voice promotes families supporting each other to overcome the isolation that being unable to speak can bring.

1 Voice does not give any advice on communication aids.

We hope you will have a good look around, find out more about us, and feel free to get as involved as much as you would like to. 

We welcome your feedback, questions and suggestions, so please get in touch by email, or by phoning us on 0845 330 7862.
