    This in combination with the success tales demonstrates the need for this device to be made available to everyone who wants it. Everyone should be able to communicate their basic wants.

    Nice introduction to AAC.

    Wonderful. I have read in this area or seen at least three people that said how AAC has changed them. One girl said, “When I wasn’t able to communicate, really, I was a non-self.” These are such incredible devices that can give people right life through communication.

    I felt the video gave alot of excellent testimonial on the effectiveness of assistive and augmentative communication devices and how they improve the quality of life, learning, and communicating for people with special wants. I want to have more information to pass on to parents who’s children would benefit from these devices.
