Not ever.

A person’s access to their communication tools or devices should never be restricted, docked, or used as a compliance punishment.

Requiring a user to be quiet, seated, or “ready” before allowing them access to their communication tool creates a harmful barrier to learning

Taking away the device because a user is pressing a repetitive button or being “disruptive” teaches them that communication is conditional rather than a right.

Just as you would never physically cover a speaking person’s mouth, removing an AAC device turns off an individual’s voice and strips away their fundamental right to express themselves.
