Becca's back with another interesting question for y'all: "Can you tell me one interesting thing about your Christmas tree this year?"

For me, I think the most interesting thing about our tree is that we named it Snuggles because it wouldn't fit on top of the car so we had to snuggle with it inside 😂.

Thanks Ben! Looking forward to hearing more from others!

Becca's back with a new question to help AAC users have something interesting to talk about! What's a Christmas song you like?

Me? I really go for Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, but I like the original lyrics better ☺️.

Don't forget to post your !

Here's your sign to get involved! "I used to think I was the only one around here who needed to learn how to compress my thoughts down to a couple words since I use my eyes and a computer to speak, but I think maybe it's something everyone should practice."

So here's Becca's question! If you could describe your 2025 in one word, what would it be? You can comment if that's all you've got in you, but please think about posting with the hashtag . Tag 3 people to keep things moving!

This challenge is about raising awareness, many people like Becca who use a speech device have to think carefully about how to boil all their thoughts down to just a couple words.. so now it's your turn! This is a challenge everyone can participate in -- if it's outside your comfort zone, maybe think about how people with disabilities have to get outside their comfort zones too just to stand up for themselves. 💜

Ok, here we go, challenge issued!

No bigs if yours isn't as ridiculously positive as Becca's. She often gives Pollyanna a run for her money 😂❤️. It would mean a lot to her if you'd participate.

Help us get this trending! Becca's greatest passion -- the thing that's bound to make her smile -- is giving everyone a chance to make choices for themselves. And picking a single word for 2025 is a great thing for anybody to be able to choose! Share this reel to your stories with an answer overlay, or post a fresh video or pic tagged with . Tag three friends and keep things moving!

If you know someone with a disability, show them this video and help them choose their own answer! They don't have to spell it out or pick it on a speech device, it can just be something that makes them smile. I hope this can be a unifying project to show that *everyone* whether disabled or grumpy or lonely or hopeful or struggling or sarcastic or whatever, can all come together around a fun, simple idea from a non-speaker who speaks from her heart ❤️.

Becca's question this week: What are some things you're thankful for?

You don't have to answer here, you can answer in-person or whatever works. You don't have to be an AAC user to answer. If you don't have a speech device, you can have someone give you ideas and respond when they say something you agree with!

A Thanksgiving conversation starter of the week from Becca! Which do you like more at Thanksgiving, stuffing or turkey?

Personally, I have a special place in my heart for stuffing, something about that combo of texture and seasonings makes me oh so happy.

It's important to listen to AAC voices, and Becca has something to share! She worked on this video for a few weeks, with help from her family, and it's great to see it all come together. She's pretty proud of it, too!

It's important to get advice and perspective directly from people with disabilities if possible. This video is very shareable, so please pass it along! Becca's suggestions are reasonable and impactful, whether someone with a disability has a speech device or not.

If you have a disability and find yourself unable to keep up with the conversation, remember that it's ok to interrupt. People interrupt each other all the time. Sometimes stopping the flow will let you think enough to participate in the conversation, or you might need to interrupt and ask for help, which is also ok. The more times you show people you want to be part, the more likely they'll be to remember to include you in the first place.

Becca's back with another conversation starter! If you could only pick one, would you rather have movies, or music?

Personally I agree with Becca about preferring music, but I really really like movies too!

Becca has another conversation starter for y'all this week: Do you like falling into a pile of leaves?

For me, I'll flop into *dry* leaves but if they're at all soggy then I'll pass. Happy fall, all!

Becca's question of the week: What's one treat you hope to get on Halloween night? Watch to see Becca's answer!

For me, it's Dots! I only eat them on Halloween and I only eat like four, but I love them!
