A thoughtful editorial in the Times Union by Elizabeth Bonker, founder and executive director of Communication 4 All, focuses on A.7363-C, legislation I sponsor to protect the communication rights of individuals with disabilities. Read it here: https://www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/disabilities-communication-new-york-22022063.php

This bill helps ensure people can use their preferred method of communication — whether speech, typing, assistive technology, or other supports — so their voices are heard and respected.

Communication is essential to dignity, independence, and opportunity, and I will keep working to see this important measure is signed into law ❤️
