New Year to Break Down Barriers

/ eyecantalk

Happy New Year!

To begin this year I am bringing you two short but powerful videos made by friends who also use AAC to communicate.  Like me they both use wheelchairs and like me they are both nonverbal.  Using art and media they are breaking down the assumptions that people often hold. These clips, shown on Channel Four and the BBC respectively, bring the message of ability over disability to a wide audience. 

As we start the year I hope the clips bring as much joy to you as they do to me.
