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 framework can serve us to generate accessible communication experiences and 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.<br><br><br>Best regards,<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Francisco Maria Calisto<div>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/FMCalisto" target="_blank">@FMCalisto</a></div><div>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/FMCalisto" target="_blank">@FMCalisto</a></div><div>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/fmcalisto/" target="_blank">@FMCalisto</a></div></div></div></div>
