We will welcome Mateo Moreno (Mateo Manuel Moreno) on May 12 for our Star-Guest Speaker Series.

Ahead of the event, we asked him to share reflections on communication, inclusion, and his experiences using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).

Here is what he shared with us.

Question:“What is one thing that you wish more people knew or understood about AAC?”

Answer:
“I wish everyone knew how smart and capable we are.”— Mateo Moreno

Too often, AAC users are underestimated because they communicate differently. Communication method does not determine intelligence, potential, leadership, or value.

At Impaact_voices, we believe AAC users deserve to be heard, respected, included, and given equal opportunities in every area of life.
