27 May Ireland Advocacy Tour: 4th-8th June
We are so very excited to announce that our next international advocacy trip is June in Ireland! Our dear Irish friend, Susan Crawford at Get Autism Active, encouraged us to come, and she has done a marvelous job connecting us with organizations from around the country. Our schedule is:
- June 4 at 18:00 at Cork Education Support Centre, The Rectory, Western Road
- June 5 at 11:00 at University of Limerick, CS2032-CSIS building UL Campus

We would love to see families with nonspeakers or minimal speakers, local typers and practitioners. Elizabeth will do a 30-minute presentation with a focus on C4A Academy, our program of internet-based instructional videos to teach nonspeakers how to type, free of charge. Elizabeth will also answer questions from the audience. Please spread the word and join us!
Please note that all tour events are free and open to the public. Some events require registration, while others are unticketed. Please refer to each event’s link for more details. The University of Limerick and County Donegal (Buncrana) events are unticketed.
We will be giving away a very limited number of letterboard sets at each event. We kindly ask you to consider a donation of any amount you can joyously afford in exchange for a set of letterboards.
If you can’t make it in person, the Q&A portion of the event will be live-streamed on our Instagram, @communication4allorg, about 30-45 minutes into the event. Feel free to comment or DM questions to us that you’d like answered during that time.
If you have any access needs in order to attend our events safely, comfortably, and equitably, please let us know those needs and which event you plan to attend, and we will do our absolute best to accommodate.
Please email virginia@communication4ALL.org with any questions or access needs.
