Communication Devices (AAC)
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. This is any system a person uses to communicate in addition to or instead of speech, including pointing to pictures and symbols, using gestures, eye gaze, or electronic devices.
Eyegaze was designed for people with complex physical disabilities, the system is operated entirely with the eyes. By focusing on control keys displayed on the screen, a person can synthesize speech, control his environment (lights, appliances, etc.) type, run computer software, operate a computer mouse, and access the Internet and email.
This information is provided as a guide only. We always recommend a communication assessment and trial of different systems prior to purchasing a device.
