AAC communication: from lived experience

Kayla Ireland, an AAC user who hosts three podcasts through Proloquo2Go, shares what neuroaffirming communication practice actually looks like. In conversation with Laetitia Andrac, she explores why there is no single right way to communicate, why the words we use to describe ourselves belong to us first, and what patience and flexibility mean in practice. The episode challenges allied health professionals to follow the individual rather than imposing community consensus, and offers concrete shifts to make in your work this week.
