AAC & technology: What’s communication equity got to do with it? (Williams, 2024)

“Many, if not most, people who need AAC are still denied effective language-based AAC; assumed illiterate for life; and subjected to extreme isolation and violence. We must secure fundamental fairness and mitigate the multiple and compounding biases and discrimination that those who require AAC endure. We must envisage ways in which people who use AAC can be better heard and live in community with all others.”

This presentation was first made at the Future of AAC Research Summit on May 13, 2024.
