The bill, introduced by Representatives Lorenz and Salvo, aims to designate the month of October as "Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Awareness Month" in the state of Ohio. This initiative seeks to raise awareness about the importance of AAC methods and tools that assist individuals with communication challenges.

To implement this designation, the bill enacts a new section, 5.63, in the Revised Code, which explicitly states that October is to be recognized as AAC Awareness Month. This addition highlights the state's commitment to promoting understanding and support for those who rely on augmentative and alternative communication systems.
