These sessions continue the conversation, offering honest insight, practical strategies, and reflections on what it really takes to embed AAC into everyday life.

Access isn’t always static, especially for people with cerebral palsy, where movement, muscle tone and fatigue can change throughout the day.

As part of Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, we’re reflecting on something that sits at the foundation of communication: access.

In our latest blog, Clinical AAC Specialist Becky and AT Specialist Anna explore dual access – the intentional use of two access methods – and how flexible options can reduce fatigue, improve reliability, and support more confident communication.

Because communication systems should adapt to the person, not the other way around. Learn more in our blog: https://www.zyteq.com.au/blog/learning-about-dual-access-in-aac

When conversations don’t go to plan, having clear ways to repair them can really help 💬

In this post, we’re sharing how Aphasia Duo and Fast Talker vocabularies in Grid include built-in supports for communication repair - from fixing misunderstandings to asking for clarification or extra time.

These features are designed to support smoother, more confident communication, especially in everyday conversations with familiar and unfamiliar partners.

Living with aphasia can affect not only how someone communicates, but how conversations feel.

In the second episode of Start the Chat, Daisy and Eva share the heart that went into designing Aphasia Duo – a vocabulary designed with care, shaped by clinical insight, and built around real conversations.

Why Aphasia Duo? Because communication is a shared experience and support needs to focus on both the person with aphasia and the people around them.

Listen to this episode of Start the Chat wherever you catch your podcasts.

Meet Chelsea - a writer, artist and advocate.

Chelsea uses Text Talker in Grid for day-to-day communication and creative writing. She’s a published poet, founder of The AAC Four Seasons Book Club, ISAAC Canada board member, and host of the podcast 'The Whiskey and Tea on AAC.'

She’s also exploring Brain Computer Interface (BCI) with Grid, becoming the first successful BCI user (who is typically a two-switch communicator) to create a sentence on Text Talker using thought alone.

More recently, she’s been using our AI-powered Fix tool to support spelling and grammar.

We’re so grateful to Chelsea for sharing her journey. Read her full story and learn more about Fix on our blog: https://www.zyteq.com.au/blog/meet-chelsea
