Donate to<br/>OpenAAC!
</a>
</div>
We are a non-profit organization that is focused on expanding
awareness, supports and efficacy of AAC worldwide. All donations
help us pursue this goal by supporting the events, materials
and research we pursue on behalf of AAC users and their teams.

<p>
<a href="/surveys.html">Participate in research</a>! We are
always running information-gathering surveys, and the
more data we collect from these surveys, the more useful they
are. You can also share the survey links with others, recruit
more participants, and help us even more! All research is
released publicly so everyone can benefit.

<h3>For Individuals and Families</h3>
<img src="https://d18vdu4p71yql0.cloudfront.net/libraries/arasaac/family_5.png" class='participate_pic'/>
<p style='margin-top: -15px;'>Contribute photos of AAC! We are collecting
photos of AAC users, in various ages, backgrounds and settings. If you
are willing to share some of your high-quality photos and release them
with an open license, please <a href="/photos.html">check out and contribute to the
AAC Photo Library</a>.
</p>
<p style='margin-top: -15px;'>Talk to your vendors! Tell them how important it is to you that you
have the freedom to change providers based on the communicator's
current needs. Tell them that it's your content that you've added
and personalized over the years, and that you have the right to
get it back out when the time comes. Send them a link to the
<a href="https://www.openboardformat.org">Open Board Format</a> and
tell them you don't want to get burned next time a product gets
cancelled or a company gets purchased.
</p>
<div style='clear: left; margin-bottom: 40px;'></div>
<h3>For Practitioners and Aides</h3>
<img src="https://d18vdu4p71yql0.cloudfront.net/libraries/arasaac/teacher%20(female)_2.png" class='participate_pic'/>
<p style='margin-top: -15px;'>Share your ideas for supporting language learning in
the <a href="https://www.coreworkshop.org">Communication Workshop</a>!
All the activities are open for anyone to use, and are
contributed by community members like you! When you talk to vendors, ask
them if they are using oppen standards like the
<a href="https://www.openboardformat.org">Open Board Format</a>
so your clients aren't getting locked in to a single vendor.
</p>
<div style='clear: left; margin-bottom: 40px;'></div>
<h3>For Purchasing Decision-Makers</h3>
<img src="https://d18vdu4p71yql0.cloudfront.net/libraries/arasaac/administration_1.png" class='participate_pic'/>
<p style='margin-top: -15px;'>Make Open Access a requirement for your purchasing decisions. Tell
vendors that you aren't interested in being locked into a single
product forever, tell them how you've been burned by that in the
past. Encourage them to look at the
<a href="https://www.openboardformat.org">Open Board Format</a>
and implement it as an export option in their applications.
