About Tim, Lucy, Andrew, and Grant:
Tim, Lucy, Andrew, and Grant have a few remarkable things in common. Published authors and passionate advocates, they have all learned to navigate the world, even completing higher education, without the ability to speak, communicating instead via assisted typing. Lucy is the first non-speaking autistic person in Australia to become an officially published writer. Andrew founded Bridges-Over-Barriers, a community of communicators that type to talk. Tim delivered a TEDx Talk in Melbourne and Grant is co-designing a course for classroom support considerations for AAC users at New York University.
