An infographic summary of the paper, with four boxes. Box 1: Adolescents with communication disability use social media to connect with others, yet their perspectives are rarely captured using accessible, co‑designed research tools. There is a need for methods that better support young people to share their experiences. Box 2: A three‑phase pilot study was conducted. Phase 1: Development of the Digital Dialogues Interview (DDI). Phase 2: Consultation with a youth advisory group. Phase 3: Structured interviews with five adolescents (12–16 years) with communication disability. Box 3: Pilot interviews showed the DDI was feasible for use. Participants used social media for connection. Challenges included communication difficulties and technology issues. Box 4: The Digital Dialogues Interview is a promising co‑designed tool for amplifying the voices of young people with communication disability.
