Whether you are new to the augmentative and alternative (AAC) community or have been an active member for years, this collection of stories will help complete your understanding of how and why people are so passionately in support of access to communication. Every day people share how they were affected by the loss of communication (personally or professionally) and how this dramatically shifted their focus and dedication. Their individual stories offer an intimate look at career paths, language system creation, software development, research, resources, and lived-experience, as they relate to and have shaped the growth and progress of AAC. Their collective voices come together to inspire you to discover your personal potential and become more active in this global community.

DisabilityLand is the place where people with disabilities live, work, play, fret, hope and succeed. Or not. And where everyone else may or may not know-or care-who they are.This collection of observations, anecdotes and questions are drawn from Dr. Alan Brightman's singular experiences in the field of disabilities for more than 3 decades. Together, Brightman's writings provide the kind of insight into the disabled experience that only someone intimately familiar with the territory and endlessly curious about its inhabitants could provide.There is no prescribed order in the pages of DisabilityLand just as there are few predictable happenings in the real life of those who wander its terrain. Its pages consist of brief stories-some as short as 2 sentences, others as long as 3 pages-in which one life experiences another. DisabilityLand is not about the subject of disability; it's not a study. It is instead about the unvarnished everyday-ness of disability; it's a series of rich, human, ordinary, and surprising encounters.
