We've had enough of nonDisabled people deciding what we get to talk about and how we get to talk! At AACIL, every single image is coded into the website by a symbol #AAC user. Every single image is drawn by a Disabled person. Most images are drawn by AAC users.

Most symbol libraries leave out symbols about things that are very important to be able to talk about, like:
types of pain
disabilities and supports
types of abuse and bigotry
details about adult activities
ways of telling people 'no'
aspects of identity
specific interests.

For people who use symbol-based AAC, the symbols or images️ they have access to dictate what they can say and how they can say it.
