Augmentative & Alternative Communication Devices

This video introduces viewers to the concept of augmentative and alternative communication and how speech communication devices can help those challenged by significant speech disabilities to speak their minds.
AAC is a term used to describe a range of communication tools including high-tech speech generating devices, which are often funded by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance or if you are a veteran, the VA.

I've just started studying Cert III in Disability in Australia. I have always wondered how Professor Stephen Hawking, one of the worlds greatest scientific minds can communicate his message. AAC is the answer. Even though a person has a disability they also have abilities. Every human deserves the right to speak, to express themselves and be heard.

Wonderful. I have read about or seen at least three people that said how AAC has changed them. One girl said, "When I wasn't able to communicate, actually, I was a non-person." These are such amazing devices that can give people true life through communication.
