Why we started the club

The Northallerton Communication Club was created to give AAC users and their families a space to belong. Many families rarely meet others who use AAC, and it can feel isolating when communication looks different.

Our aim is simple: to build community, confidence and connection through relaxed, meaningful experiences.

A place where AAC is normal.

A place where everyone is understood.
