Netflix latest reality show “Later Daters” is mostly silly but one of the participants has a son who uses AAC with eye gaze very very well! A real joy to watch.

I had a fun visit with an AAC user who needs a new device. He mostly types so I asked if he was doing any of his own programming/using stored phrases. His mom hadn’t thought of that but she opened it up & he proceeded to put in all his favorite restaurants! #AugComm #BskySpeechies #SLPeeps #ATchat
