It is an exciting time for all of us at ISAAC as we look forward to hosting our 19th Biennial Conference in Cancún, México, August 1-6, 2020. The conference theme, “Communication Beyond Borders / Comunicación Sin Fronteras” challenges the AAC community to think beyond local contexts and to embrace broader global practices. One of the goals of this conference is to build AAC professional capacity specifically in countries where Spanish is spoken, as well as countries that are traditionally undeserved.
