Critically important content for everyone in the AAC community - there is so much work to be done, but an impact can be made every day (especially enjoyed discussion of micro-affirmations!)

(2/3) "It may be hard to recognize unconsciously behaving inequitably, but if we always try to affirm others in an appropriate and consistent way, we are more likely to block behavior we want to prevent. " (Ochs, 2023)

(3/3) "Affirming others can become a conscious and unconscious practice that prevents unconscious slights." (Ochs, 2023)

I look forward to reading this!
