Episode three of Start the Chat is here.

In this episode, we explore literacy with early childhood education expert Maureen Donnelly, Director at Building Wings. Together, we discuss the science of reading, the role of phonics, and how AAC can support literacy development for a wide range of learners.

Maureen shares the importance of a supportive, student-centered approach, giving learners the space to explore, express ideas, and build towards flexible communication.

Listen now, wherever you catch your podcasts, and stay tuned for part two next month, where we’ll hear from someone who uses AAC about their own journey with literacy.

Vega is five years old. She loves books, swimming and sparkly hair clips. She communicates using AAC.

Her mom, Alba, shares how Grid Pad and Grid for iPad support Vega’s communication at home and out and about – helping her express choices, build literacy and grow in independence.

From hearing “mom” for the first time during an eye gaze trial, to reading independently word by word, Vega’s journey shows what is possible when communication access starts early.

Taking AAC implementation further.

Implementation doesn’t stop at one approach or setting. As part of our Implementation theme at 24 Hours of AAC, we’re sharing more talks that dive into the practical, day-to-day realities of supporting AAC - across environments, roles and lived experiences.

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.
