"Communication is a fundamental right and something that every person carries with them their entire lives," Speech Pathologist Kiah Thorn said.

While many think of spoken words when they think of communicating with others, communication is so much more than that.

"No one expects an infant to start talking, right? But infants do communicate. They communicate using their voice by crying, but also through eyebrow raises, grimacing, pulling away or increases or decreases in their heart rate," she said. "Communication is a lifespan activity that transcends cultures, geography and age."
