Assistive Technology of the Month
The recent development of specialized ""apps"" allows people who use communication devices to use their phones in new and exciting ways.
"Tap To Talk" turns any iPhone, iPod or iPad into an augmentative communication device. It has a "cool" factor which is also appealing to young people.
"Tap to Talk" offers access to 2,500 symbols
and costs $99.95. LATAN makes it available for demonstration at both the Baton Rouge and Shreveport offices. Please contact us for details and to schedule an appointment. |
