Today and every day, let’s break down barriers and listen with more than our ears. Let’s listen with empathy, patience, and openness. 🧡. #DysarthriaAwareness #CerebralPalsyAwareness #CommunicationAccess #InclusiveCommunication #AAC #AccessibilityMatters

Not all communication sounds the same. Some people speak with devices, gestures, or facial expressions—and they deserve to be heard just as clearly. Let’s raise awareness, promote understanding, and advocate for inclusive communication for all voices—spoken or unspoken.
