I remember being there struggling if I should point out the term when Nikki proposed to use the term non-speaking instead of non-verbal! I am so grateful to have been in that room and witness how it was handled so beautifully, and it reinforced my belief in the power of language and encouraged me to speak out in different occasions :))
Thank you so much for an interview that is all at once enlightening, thoughtful and hopeful.
