Hi! I‘m currently working on a story where a character uses a AAC and I‘m wondering if you have any advice/things I should definetly keep in mind? I‘m doing a lot of research but as someone who doesn‘t currently use a AAC, there are probally things that fly under my radar

Hey there! There are a lot of things you should think about when making a character who uses AAC.

First of all, what type of AAC do they use? Do they use text to speech? Low tech? Symbol based? Eye gaze? You should also take into consideration how fast they are with AAC. Generally, someone will be quite slow with AAC. It might take them about half the time to respond to someone compared to speech! So take that into consideration.

Personally would love to see the ableism that AAC users experience. Would love to see that. Example; people ignoring their devices, people asking them why they don’t speak, people trying to take their device, rude comments, etc etc.

Think about the characters preferences. Do they prefer that their device is completely private and they don’t like people watching them use it? Do they prefer that people don’t complete their sentences before they’re completely typed out? Think of that!

Would also love to see some variety of why the character uses an aac device. Could be because of autism, or cerebral palsy, or schizophrenia, or apraxia, just get creative with it and research disorders and talk to others with those disorders!

Overall, would love to see some uniqueness and see how that goes. Thank you for asking! If you have any further questions then feel free to shoot me a message! Have a lovely day!
