>>>> *Abstract:* Agency is essential to communication, we advance our
>>>> individual goals by communicating them. Nonetheless, agency is not a fixed
>>>> property. Many individuals who use speech-generating devices to communicate
>>>> encounter social constraints and barriers that reduce their agency in
>>>> conversation including how much they can say, how they can say it, and when
>>>> they can say it. In this talk, I will argue how using agency as a design

>>>> center the perspectives of people with disabilities in the design process
>>>> of new technology. I will present two cases of designing with people with
>>>> disabilities to explore how different technology materials can support
>>>> their agency in conversation. In doing so, I will present accessible design
>>>> methods as well as new design guidelines for augmented communication using
>>>> fabricated expressive objects and AI-based language generative tools.
