Presume Competence Comfort Colors Unisex T-Shirt

Presume competence is the working principle of the AAC and autistic communities: start from the assumption that a person understands, and build from there. Speech is not the same thing as thought, and the cost of guessing wrong in the other direction is a whole life underestimated.

Worn by AAC users and their families, speech language pathologists, special education teachers, paraprofessionals, and autistic adults who spent years being talked over. A clear signal in a classroom, a therapy room, or a conference hallway.

Common questions

Is this appropriate to wear in a school or clinic? Yes. It reads as a professional practice statement, which is why SLPs, special ed teachers, and therapists buy it for workdays and conferences.

Can I order several for a team or classroom staff? Yes. Everything is printed to order, so mixed sizes and mixed colors in one order are no problem.

How does the shirt hold up to frequent washing? Comfort Colors is built for repeat wear. Wash cold and tumble low and the garment-dyed color and the print both stay put.
