AAC Image Library

4,350 symbols.

4,100!

Today, we reached the milestone of 4,000 AAC symbols by us, for us, available for all AAC users to use!

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.
