What's The Story?

This photograph shows a close up picture of a DynaVox communication aid. You can clearly see the buttons on the machine that the child presses to activate pre-programmed words, sentences and questions. She can also build up sentences by pressing a series of buttons. The buttons have both words and symbols on them.

There are many other types of voice output communication aids [Vocas] available - from devices that will speak one response to sophisticated displays that change when you select a button. You can read more about the different devices here.
