He then went on to talk about how wonderful his company is at making these products more accessible (the evidence for this is sorely lacking in my experience).<br /><br />Go figure. Most of the folks I encounter here in Utah who seem like they should be using AAC are not either.xinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954733013018380971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-12922036929472528052010-05-13T20:52:51.430-04:002010-05-13T20:52:51.430-04:00ha ha.

...Where is "here"? A third world country?<br /><br />If he's in the US, not only is his school legally obliged to probe AAC technologies, the government will likely pay for the device too. Your state probably has something similar to UCAT. :)xinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954733013018380971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-77565427949520340992010-05-13T18:20:44.202-04:002010-05-13T18:20:44.202-04:00He does, very much.
