>> *Talk Title:* Designing for Agency and Access
>>
>> *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
>> 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.
