Bill overview
This bill, the AACCENT Act, aims to improve access to communication tools and support for individuals with significant expressive communication disabilities. It will establish three national resource centers across the United States to provide training, technical assistance, and resources related to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). These centers will work to eliminate discrimination and ensure individuals with these disabilities can effectively communicate and participate in all aspects of life. The goal is to increase awareness, understanding, and access to AAC for those who need it.
