Camp Commūnicāre at Jericho
AAC Camp is a community. Individuals using AAC and total communication spend 5 weeks with others who communicate in similar ways. We offer an immersive environment. Our program focuses on use and modeling of language every moment we have. We foster leadership. We all have different strengths; AAC Camp gives individuals their time to truly shine. We are a family, committed to our community of individuals, their families and team members.We are really looking forward to this year's programming!
