Holiday gatherings can be fun and festive, but can also be overwhelming for kids who communicate differently. Here are a few ways to make this season a little easier (and more inclusive):
1. Show family members how your child communicates
2. Give them extra time to respond
3. Include them in the conversation
4. Offer a calm space for breaks
5. Bring & Use AAC everywhere
The holidays are about connection, not perfection - and every voice at the table deserves to be heard! Share this post with family before your next gathering or save it for later!

Around 25–30% of autistic individuals are non-speaking or minimally verbal. For decades, many were misunderstood—treated as incapable simply because they didn’t use spoken words.

Today, we know that communication and intelligence are not the same thing. When given access to AAC and supportive teaching, non-speaking people can share their ideas, feelings, and brilliance in their own way.

Let’s keep challenging assumptions and building a world that presumes competence.
