Chatter Matters Camp-University of Wisconsin Whitewater

Through our partnership with Variety – the Children’s Charity of Wisconsin, graduate speech pathology students and other student volunteers and instructors host this overnight camp for children with special needs who use assistive communication devices and their immediate family members.

What makes Chatter Matters unique is that it’s just like a traditional summer camp, but the activities are fully adapted for AAC users ages 5-15. Through activities like arts & crafts, adaptive sports, games, bowling, a dance party, and talent a show, children learn to improve use of their communication device use. By allowing parents and siblings to attend, families have fun, create lasting memories, and bond with other families of children with special needs.

This camp is available to children ages 5-15 who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication and their families.

Limited to 30 families. Max 6 immediate members per family. Check in is scheduled tentatively for 12:00 pm. Residence is scheduled tenatively for Ma’iingan Hall.
