Abstract

Ableism is a form of oppression with pernicious consequences for people who use AAC. Historically, Ableist ideologies led to attempts to erase disability from the social fabric (e.g., the Eugenics movement). Speechism is the prejudice and discrimination of people because their language, use of language, or mode of expression is deemed inferior. Speechism and Ableism obstruct the true reality of the experiences of people who use AAC. Ableism presumes that the abled-bodied experience is the only legitimate and valid experience and does not recognize that many disabled people experience their lives very differently. This perspective makes invisible the ableist experiences that disabled people have to face in many facets of our lives. This problem is compounded for people who use AAC who may face challenges explaining the full extent and impact of these ableist experiences. As an AAC community, we must confront Ableism in our field and industry by always prioritizing the lived experiences of people who use AAC in the development of AAC technology and policy. People who use AAC must be at the decision table regarding everything that involves us as a community. We can have an anti-ableist future only if disabled people to lead the way.

残疾歧视如何影响使用AAC的人。
残疾歧视是一种压迫形式,对使用AAC的人造成了有害的后果。从历史上看,残疾主义者的意识形态导致了从社会结构中抹去残疾的尝试(例如,优生学运动)。言语歧视是一种偏见和歧视,因为他们的语言,语言的使用,或表达方式被认为是低劣的。言语障碍和残疾障碍阻碍了使用AAC的人体验的真实现实。残疾歧视假定身体健全的经历是唯一合法和有效的经历,并没有认识到许多残疾人的生活经历非常不同。这种观点使残疾人在生活的许多方面不得不面对的残疾主义经历变得不可见。对于使用AAC的人来说,这个问题更加复杂,他们可能面临解释这些健康主义者体验的全部范围和影响的挑战。作为一个AAC社区,我们必须通过在AAC技术和政策的发展中始终优先考虑使用AAC的人的生活经验来面对我们领域和行业中的残疾歧视。使用AAC的人必须在决策表上考虑所有涉及我们作为一个社区的事情。只有残疾人带头,我们才能拥有一个反残疾主义的未来。

期刊介绍: As the official journal of the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC), Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) publishes scientific articles related to the field of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) that report research concerning assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and education of people who use or have the potential to use AAC systems; or that discuss theory, technology, and systems development relevant to AAC. The broad range of topic included in the Journal reflects the development of this field internationally. Manuscripts submitted to AAC should fall within one of the following categories, AND MUST COMPLY with associated page maximums listed on page 3 of the Manuscript Preparation Guide. Research articles (full peer review), These manuscripts report the results of original empirical research, including studies using qualitative and quantitative methodologies, with both group and single-case experimental research designs (e.g, Binger et al., 2008; Petroi et al., 2014). Technical, research, and intervention notes (full peer review): These are brief manuscripts that address methodological, statistical, technical, or clinical issues or innovations that are of relevance to the AAC community and are designed to bring the research community’s attention to areas that have been minimally or poorly researched in the past (e.g., research note: Thunberg et al., 2016; intervention notes: Laubscher et al., 2019).
