You do not have to be ADA Disabled™ to join this group. You can be curious, discovering what’s up, in the middle of a diagnosis, choose not to disclose, etc. We welcome everyone. We cannot promise anonymity because we are an open group – but we do provide peer support, resources, and a place to talk.

Emergency Chat
Emergency chat can be used in any situation where speech is impossible but communication is still necessary.
The splash screen has a base text that explains to any person you give your phone to that you can't use speech and want to use this app to communicate. You can then continue to the next screen which has a simple chat client.
