New York’s Communication Bill of Rights [Assembly Bill A7363C] would legally protect every person’s right to use their preferred method of communication.

Without this bill, spellers, typers, and text-based communicators can be denied their primary most effective method of AAC.

Contact House Speaker Carl Heastie to say you support The Communication Bill of Rights as written and want the Speaker to ensure it is voted on TOMORROW Wednesday, April 29th!
