Breaking Barriers 2026

The Breaking Barriers Congress is a space for connection, inspiration, and learning, where professionals, users, families, companies, and institutions come together to share knowledge, experiences, and advances in assistive technology. Augmentative Communication, inclusive leisure, multi-sensory stimulation, autonomy, and environmental control will take center stage in this new edition.

For two days, Barcelona will bring together national and international experts, real-life experiences, and the latest industry innovations to showcase how technology can promote inclusion and participation for everyone.

We believe in the power of assistive technology and augmentative communication to change lives.

Our team members at the event:

“As the parent of an AAC user, I cherish the voice this gives to my daughter. I am privileged to be part of a team that ensures everyone has the opportunity to communicate, be heard, understood, and empowered.”

“Those who can not communicate are often underestimated. By offering them means to communicate, we give them the ability to express, grow, and show us who they really are.”
