The document discusses two recent works, Martin Pistorius' book "Ghost Boy" and the film "The Theory of Everything" about Stephen Hawking, that have brought attention to the challenges of communication disabilities. It argues that while these individual stories are moving, decision-makers require a broader perspective on the societal impacts. The document calls on ISAAC members to conduct research that demonstrates these wider impacts in order to motivate governments to provide funding and resources for augmentative and alternative communication supports.
