Global Systems: Design and Use of Symbols that Reflect Local Language and Culture
Global Systems: Design and Use of Symbols that Reflect Local Language and Culture
We will explore the development and use of AAC symbols across diverse languages and cultures.

Global Symbols with participatory approaches to localization and contextualization of symbols to
reflect community needs. All symbols, tools and training resources are published openly, resulting
in collaboration with international agencies to increase AAC usage globally.
