SUMMARY - Digital Communication Tools

Communication technology has transformed how people with disabilities connect with others. Video calls enable sign language and lip-reading. Text messaging allows communication without speech. Augmentative and alternative communication devices give voice to those who cannot speak. Yet the same technologies that enable connection can also exclude when designed without disability in mind, and the rapid evolution of communication platforms creates ongoing accessibility challenges.
