“What a meaningful evening hosted yesterday at Planet Fitness Auburn, led by our amazing member Shirley Wong…

 

This AAC awareness event reminded us that communication goes far beyond words: it thrives in patience, presence, gestures, symbols, and the tools we use to connect. We explored different AAC methods, learned practical ways to support one another, and opened doors to inclusive conversations that anyone can participate in.

 

Grateful to Shirley for educating us and helping us grow, your guidance illuminated new possibilities and reminded us that every form of communication matters. Let’s carry this awareness forward by continuing to learn, listen, and adapt to support all voices.”

“Every voice deserves to be heard and understood.

​

October is AAC Awareness Month and we had the pleasure of welcoming Shirley, the owner of Communicate In Your Own Way and a NDIS participant, who gave us an incredible deep dive into Augmentative and Alternative Communication.

​

The session opened our eyes to how communication extends far beyond words and reminded us how powerful it is to create spaces where everyone can express themselves freely.

​

At KinKera Community we’re committed to empowering every individual with the tools and support they need to connect, express and thrive. Because communication is a medium to feel that you belong somewhere!”
