Voice Output Communication Device tutorial information:
The Allora Voice Output device allows students with speech impairments or students who are non-verbal to communicate their thoughts by typing messages into the device. Students can store and save a multitude of standard messages in addition to communicating any of their thoughts. Non-verbal students are able to be much more independent with this device. This voice output communication device is consistent with the goals of the TASH resolution that I discussed in an earlier post because it supports the right of all people to have a means of communication.
