Speech therapists can arrange AAC device trials for their clients to assess the most suitable assistive communication solutions.
Is it possible to trial a speech generating device?
Yes, clinicians can trial AAC devices for their clients.
Tobii Dynavox offers short-term device trials that allow people with communication disabilities to test speech generating devices in real-world environments such as at home, in school or in clinical settings. Trials typically last for two weeks and can support assessment, and in some cases, funding applications.
