Universal Voices: The Right to be Heard, Move and Belong

Join us April 30, 2026 – May 1, 2026

At San Francisco State University, CA – or tune in from anywhere in the world – for two days of transformative learning, collaboration, and community building.

Whether you’re a researcher, clinician, educator, or family member, AAC By the Bay offers unparalleled opportunities for learning, networking, and advancing the field of augmentative and alternative communication.

Every other year, The Bridge School hosts an international conference bringing together the brightest minds in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), mobility, cortical/cerebral visual impairment, education, and communication.   This year is no exception!

Our 2026 conference explores the critical connections between early motor development and higher-order skills including communication and language, laying the foundation for understanding the profound impact of mobility on every aspect of individual development.

The 2026 AAC by the Bay Conference will be held both in-person and live-streamed. Both in-person and live-streamed are eligible for ASHA CEUs.

In the near future, archives of some sessions will be available online for a fee. Archive sessions will not be available for ASHA CEUs at this time.
