How Can I Show Allyship to an Autistic Person?
1️⃣ Take time to understand the person

Every autistic person is different. Allyship begins by learning about someone’s communication preferences, sensory needs, routines, interests and strengths.
When we take the time to understand the individual - rather than making assumptions - we build more respectful, supportive relationships.
Small acts of understanding can make a big difference.

It's the end of the month, which means it's a great time to give your AAC device a clean!

Let’s face it – devices get dirty. Whether you’re at school, work, or just having dinner, your device comes along for the ride. Give it some cleaning attention regularly to keep it working well.

For light cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth on the touchscreen. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth, then dry the screen with another soft cloth. You can find more detailed cleaning tips in your device manual.

Helpful to know: Keyguards can go in the dishwasher!
