On Tuesday March 3, 2026, at 7:30pm-8:30pm EST (00:30-01:30 UTC Nov 5), the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Totally Listening: Using a Total Communication Approach‘.
This talk, from the perspective of speech pathologists who specialize in communication language, focuses on strategies and perspectives that support all people, with or without a clinical or therapeutic background, in meaningfully engaging with individuals who are non-speaking or minimally-speaking to uplift and celebrate their unique personalities as well as provide space and opportunity for autonomy, self-expression, and connection with others. Molly Ziegler & Christina Lompado will provide an overview of total communication to broaden understanding of how all individuals use different forms of communication depending on our anatomy, physiology, cognition, preferences, and personality, as well as how we may code-switch depending on the setting, context, and our current state.
The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG.
