Plain Language Abstract 

This presentation is about international law. It is about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with a Disability (UNCRPD). It is about one of the sections called Article 21, which is about Freedom of Expression and Opinion, and Access to Information 

We looked at the reports from 21 countries. We read what they said they were doing to meet Article 21. 

Only some of the countries talked about AAC. AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. 

Many of the countries talked about how they make information accessible to more people with disability. Some talked about communication technology to support people to express themselves. 

We have ideas to make things better some more people, in more countries can be supported for Freedom of Expression and Opinion, and Access to Information.
