Everyone needs a method of communication in order to interact with others and to expand their learning opportunities. Those who are unable to communicate or whose speech is not fluent or understandable enough for others, may benefit from using a communication device. Communication devices include such things as picture / symbol systems, communication boards, electronic devices, speech synthesizers and speech output software. The use of these devices is a process of learning that takes time to gain skills, confidence and ease of use.

The TECHConnection offers an extensive variety of speech training software and communication devices. Many major devices are available for preview and for us to use for evaluations. Find out which alternative is right for you. Follow-up training is available. Device programming and updating is offered to expand its use as the individual progresses.

Evaluations are available for preschoolers through adults to help give a voice to their thoughts. Families, teachers, therapists and agency staff are welcome to be a part of this process.
Note: Due to heavy scheduling, our services for Augmentative Communication evaluations and training are limited at this time.  Please call into the center and speak with Joanne Castellano to determine availability.
