The bill introduced by Senator Weinstein aims to enact a new section in the Revised Code, specifically section 5.63, which designates the month of October as "Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Awareness Month." This initiative seeks to raise awareness about the importance and benefits of augmentative and alternative communication methods for individuals with communication challenges.
The legal language inserted into the current law clearly establishes this designation, emphasizing the significance of AAC in promoting effective communication for those who may require alternative methods to express themselves. There are no deletions from current law associated with this bill.
