Abstract
Gabriel is an adolescent with a disability who uses an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device to communicate. Previously reliant on blinking for "yes" and pouting by sticking his lips out for "no," he now engages with his therapists using eye-tracking technology for his communication. This article highlights how the interdisciplinary team has been working collaboratively with Gabriel and his family to integrate AAC into his daily life, illustrating both the challenges and benefits of this approach.
