Variety Motor Mouth Camp assists kids who have limited speech and rely on a communication system/talker to express themselves.
First held in Hobart in 2022, the camp is designed to support children who use these communication systems, often called Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, and their families to attend together.
AAC is used during all activities at camp, encouraging the child and their family to fully embrace their AAC system and to incorporate it into their everyday life.

Variety Motor Mouth Camp will return on 4 – 6 October 2024.
Applications are now closed. If you would like to participate in a future camp please fill out the expression of interest below.
