BCI Membership is open to all who wish to support the dual objectives of BCI given in the Bylaws: 

  • To support the use of Blissymbolics for persons with communication, language, and learning difficulties—a right and responsibility entrusted to BCI by C. K. Bliss in 1982 
  • To maintain a standard for the international use of Blissymbolics—as the way in which BCI fulfils the responsibility of leadership entrusted to BCI by Douglas Everingham, Trustee of the Semantography Trust, in 2000 

Members should have or have had some experience with Blissymbolics or other systems as AAC. BCI members can be either organisations or individuals:

  • Organisations pay a fee of 50 € (Euros).
