Assistive Communication Technology

Assistive Communication Technology includes devices and software designed to help individuals with speech or language difficulties communicate effectively. This can involve speech-generating devices, picture-based communication systems, or computer programs that translate thoughts into speech. Such technology enables users to express themselves, participate socially, and access information, promoting independence and improving quality of life. It is tailored to individual needs and can be used in various settings like home, school, or work. These tools are vital for supporting communication ownership and inclusion for people with disabilities affecting speech.
