Information about the upcoming ISAAC (Int'l Society for Augmentative/Alternative Communication).  This was posted on an ASHA listserv over the weekend.
 
For those of you who are part of the Twitterverse, a simple way to help promote the ISAAC 2012 conference is to use the hashtag #isaac12 in your tweets. Anyone who follows the #isaac12 will then see what you have posted, even if they don't ...actually follow your personal twitter feed.

If you're unfamiliar with using hashtags in Twitter, take a look at the following excellent post that gives a simple overview of the uses and abuses of hashtagging:

If you're not using Twitter already and curious about how it can be used in Speech and Language Therapy, the same author has a 101 posting on the basics of Twitter:

It's worth exploring Twitter as a networking tool if you haven't already.
