The right to communicate is both a basic human right and the means by which all other rights are realized.
All people communicate.
Where people lack an adequate communication system, they deserve to have others try with them to discover and secure an appropriate system. No person should have this right denied because they have been diagnosed as having a particular disability. Access to effective means of communication is a free speech issue. All persons born with disabilities should be given therapy and training directed towards permitting them to communicate freely. All people with communication disabilities should be given full opportunity to use augmentative and alternative communication.
