At the age of six, I received my first communication device, an alphatalker. From there I progressed to the Vanguard. Then ECO, ECO2, and now I'm using an Accent 1400. I accessed my device with my fingers for many years, and now I access my device with a B-joy.
I have used Unity all of 22 years and I obviously have grown with it. I started with Unity 45, 60, and now 84. That's what I love about Minspeak!
I have been an ambassador for four years! I want to continue to be an ambassador because I want to spread awareness of the importance of having a communication device. I love speaking to future and present speech language pathologists, teachers and those who work with individuals who work in special needs community. I hope to show them how my communication device has changed my life by having a voice. How can anyone know what an individual is thinking if they don't have anyway to communicate their thoughts, right?
