Abstract
Communicating with someone using an electronic communication device is different from routine conversation. Despite enormous technological progress, talking with a person with a disability using an electronic communicater is an acquired skill. Very few people in the general population and few professionals know how to chat with someone using an assistive device. Experience a conversation now so you will not have to avoid it when you need to talk to someone who communicates with a device. Let’s overcome the fear of talking with someone who uses an AAC device to facilitate communication.
