What is the Writers Brigade?
The Writers Brigade produces articles and other materials that explain the work of the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Communication Enhancement (AAC-RERC), while supporting the writing and publication of articles by individuals who rely on AAC. The Writers’ Brigade project (WB) is a federally funded dissemination and training project within the AAC-RERC. From 2003-2008, it was administered by Augmentative Communication Inc. (ACI) and managed by Johana Schwartz. It is now managed by Pamela Kennedy through Penn State University. The AAC-RERC partners intend that the activities of the WB further the knowledge and interest of multiple stakeholder groups about current research related to AAC technologies and the work of the AAC-RERC.
