“When we are assumed to be incapable of understanding language, no effort is then made to provide us access to robust, language-based AAC that would allow us to prove otherwise.” @jordynbzim on SLPs as communication gatekeepers, at @Communica1st: communicationfirst.org/slps-as-aac-ga… #autism
This month, we celebrate our #autistic community! Join us by (re)watching #LISTEN, the viral, award-winning short film we made by and with #nonspeaking autistic folks. Find a toolkit, transcripts, versions in different languages, and shorter versions here: lnkfi.re/listenfilm
REMINDER: We’re proud to be a co-sponsor of “Storytelling as an Advocacy Tool: An AAC Community Discussion with Tiffany Hammond”, NYT Bestselling author of “A Day with No Words”. Sunday, 4/21 from 2p-4:30p at Ravensworth Baptist Church. Register at bit.ly/AAC-VA
@Communica1st and the @OHSUUCEDD want to hear from you as a first step in their national plan for AAC peer support models. If you are an AAC user, please consider completing this short survey to share your experience with peer support ➡️ bit.ly/49SxTKr
@Communica1st and the @OHSUUCEDD want to hear from you as a first step in their national plan for AAC peer support models. If you are an AAC user, please consider completing this short survey to share your experience with peer support ➡️ bit.ly/49SxTKr
If you are an AAC-user, please take this anonymous, short, five-question survey about your experience with peer supports. We need as many responses as possible as we begin our grant about AAC peer supports project! #AAC forms.gle/oRBUQMu7c6XhiF…
AAC users, please consider sharing your experience with peer supports! Take our 5-question survey here: forms.gle/oRBUQMu7c6XhiF… With @Communica1st, we have been awarded a contract from @AUCDNews to develop a national plan for #AAC peer support models. Let's get started together!
Good news about an issue CommunicationFIRST was deeply involved with from 2020 to 2022, at the beginning of the pandemic: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
Our proposal with the Oregon Health & Science University UCEDD to form a national consortium of AAC users and others to develop peer support models for people who need and use AAC has been accepted! #AAC aucd.org/template/news.…

@ekverstania Hmmm......not sure this is the right gig for me. Thanks for letting me know though!
@LearnLead_ @WCSDCyclones @researchED_US @ChrisMurphyCT Does your organization think seclusion for mainly disabled children is a “positive” thing as Mr. Bennett says? What’s positive about locking a vulnerable child alone in a seclusion cell? @autselfadvocacy @endseclusion @Communica1st @ICARSBanRandS @NeuroClastic @JenniAgitator
I am my own story in and of myself. I am my own story of hopes and dreams and struggles and triumphs and real experiences. I have so much to share with the world, and being reduced to an inaccurate and offensive empty stereotype feels so devastating.

Happened to be in a plane along the path of totality today. Science is cool!
@GlennYoungkin Nobody is “safer” from harm by caging ID/DD people in seclusion cells or incarcerating them for disability crisis behaviors. In fact, it only causes more trauma, which causes trauma reactivity and makes everyone LESS safe, not more. #DecriminalizeAutism
@GlennYoungkin I’m not going away @GlennYoungkin. We’ve heard this dangerous rhetoric before about ID/DD ppl. My son’s schools used it to justify caging him in seclusion 745 times in 7.5 years. It was a losing argument, as we forced FCPS to ban seclusion via litigation communicationfirst.org/restraint-and-…

“These results suggest that many autistic people who do not talk can learn how to spell. If they are given appropriate opportunities, they might be able to learn to communicate by typing.” Free Literacy in nonspeaking autistic people @KaydenStockwell journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…
