Last week, the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) passed its historic 2026 Strategic Plan. One of the reasons it is historic is the inclusion of Lifespan Domain III: Improving Communication and Access for Nonspeaking and Minimally Speaking Autistic Individuals (found on page 199).

Communication 4 ALL @communication4all.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Do you know someone who can't rely on speech to communicate? Some nonspeaking people use phrases, scripts, body language, or echolalia, but families are still left filling in the blanks. Many families and caregivers wish they could understand more of what they are thinking.
