Project Description
It is our intent to address the communication needs of those with the most severe disabilities who are unserved or poorly served. Our goal is to enhance their communication since communication is a fundamental prerequisite to successful education, employment, health,participation, and community living. Our vision is to ensure that all individuals, including those with the most complex needs,have access to effective AAC to realize the basic human need, the basic human right, and the basic human power of communication.
