Communication Matters is a UK charity that supports people with little or no clear speech in using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). We believe that it is a human right to communicate, be included and be heard in an equitable society.

It’s our vision to create a world where all individuals have a right to a voice through the provision of communication solutions and ongoing support services.

Communication Matters has a membership coming from across the UK bringing their personal experience as AAC Users and family members of AAC users, as well as professional, technical, commercial and research expertise in AAC. In 2025, we opened our membership to international members too and this is a growing part of our organisation.
