UGA's CommunicAID+Nation supports alumna through donation
The University of Georgia’s CommunicAID+Nation—a nonprofit organization that provides direct and affordable services, financial assistance, resources, and support to individuals with communication needs—recently made a $500 donation to help purchase an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device mount for a Mary Frances Early College of Education alumna.
CommunicAID+Nation’s executive team donated the AAC mount to safely secure the AAC device, a communication tool used to replace or support natural speech, to a wheelchair or walker. The organization’s current co-presidents are Kaitlyn Gallagher and Meredith Headley, undergraduate students in the Department of Communication Sciences and Special Education.
“This alumna has given back so much to both her students and community, so we are overjoyed to make this donation to her this year,” said Gallagher.
