United States of America: Tom Reed 

The United States of America has a wide range of geographic features and nearly every type of climate. The USA committee selected five states to hold school-based AAC Awareness Events: Arizona, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. USSAAC provided funding for t-shirts and a small stipend for each participating classroom.  The committee compiled resources for the USSAAC website which included a video, list of 10 activities for celebrating AAC Awareness, a .PDF formatted for business cards that share AAC information, as well as a suggested curriculum for classrooms.
