I Love Assistive Technology!

Join augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) expert Nicole Lilienthal, M.S. CCC-SLP for an exciting glimpse into the world of assistive technology. See first hand how multiple alternative communication strategies are implemented to assist a nonspeaking adult, "Mr. P", with his goal of achieving communication independence. Examples of partner assisted scanning on a low tech communication device (lap tray) and 4 quadrant row/column scanning on a high tech voice output communication device (Prentke Romich ECO-14) are demonstrated.

I also use assistive technology. I don't use these pieces, but I use others. They are definitely blessings. They help us to be independent, and importantly help us to live, not just survive.

You are amazing! I have a 7 year old son who doesn't speak and I cannot wait to talk to him the way you talk to people!

this really useful for those who are in need. hoping to read more of the description of the devices. Though, it is indeed so helpful.

You know I think those speaking machines are the most useful and innovative devices ever created for people who are unable to communicate.
