You can have plenty to say without being able to produce speech.
Sharing an opinion, making someone laugh or talking about something you love are all ways of expressing who you are.
For people who cannot rely on speech, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) can provide another way to take part in those conversations.

A person can select symbols, compose their own messages and navigate supported apps, giving them more independence in how they communicate and pursue their interests.
