Greetings
Hello from the RERC on Communication Enhancement! Communication is all about exchanging information. With this first issue of our eNewsletter, we are embarking on a new avenue for keeping in touch with people and organizations that are important to us. We hope that you will make this avenue a two-way street by reading the articles and providing us with feedback from time to time. Let us know what you’d like to hear about, events that we can publicize, or if you have any questions or comments about our projects and activities.
By the way, “we” means the partners and staff of the AAC-RERC. “We” partners, David Beukelman, Sarah Blackstone, Diane Bryen, Kevin Caves, Frank DeRuyter, Jeff Higginbotham, Janice Light, David McNaughton, Howard Shane, and Michael Williams, will be striving to communicate with you about some of our activities and hope we will hear more about what you are doing as well.
The AAC-RERC is required to disseminate information about its activities to various AAC stakeholders. We do that through Augmentative Communication News and Alternatively Speaking, our website at www.aac-rerc.com, as well as through presentations at professional meetings and in publications. In addition, we disseminate through the newsletters of professional and consumer organizations, such as ASHA SID 12 and Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Each issue of our eNewsletter will highlight our research, development, or training projects; provide announcements; inform you of upcoming events and staff presentations; as well as contain special feature articles. Through eNews we WILL:
-
Provide you with summaries of AAC-RERC research and development results
-
Notify you of publications that you might not regularly receive
-
Ask your opinion about AAC priorities for future research, development, training, and so on
-
Direct you toward AAC resources when they become available
We promise that we WILL NOT:
-
Sell the address list and become rich
-
Distribute the address list to ANYONE
-
Frustrate you with jokes or cute stories
-
Send pictures of our children, grandchildren, pets, or cars
-
Overload your inbox with trivia
Thanks for allowing us to spread the word about the AAC-RERC to you through this eNewsletter.
