"I watched
David, whose speech is unintelligible, actually bounce up and down with
excitement when using 1-2-3 Speak to communicate with his sister -- who
is equally unintelligible and equally excited when it was her turn to
'talk'." "Daisy, who is deaf, gave up trying to communicate in her workshop; very few people understood her sign language. 1-2-3 Speak is so easy to use, that within minutes, she was expressing her needs and feelings to her speech therapist--she was so excited." Susan Levine, Speech Pathologist, "As a speech-language pathologist graduate intern at the CHI Center in Silver Spring, Maryland I was given the opportunity to work with the 1-2-3 Speak software developed by Dr. Harold Blank and colleagues. 1-2-3 Speak software provides maximum customizability. My client was able to talk about his family and friends as well as the places in the community he went to or was planning on going to. Logos of popular stores and brands could be easily taken from the Internet and used to make the program more personalized. With minimal training of staff, I do feel this program would provide my client with a practical method of communication. Overall, the ease of editing the pages and the ability to customize the icons in the program made the 1-2-3 Speak a joy to work with." Emily Genovese, a graduate student at Uinversity of Maryland Speech and Language Pathologist Program, |
