Today is National Nonspeaking Awareness Day and one of the most important things I’ve learned from working with nonspeaking individuals and their families is this: the ability to speak is not the same as the ability to think, understand, feel, or communicate.

We should never assume that someone’s outward ability to respond tells us what they understand internally.

Communication can take many forms, and every person deserves to be spoken to with respect, included in the conversation, and given the opportunity to show us what they know.

Presume competence always.
