Dynavox and Mayer-Johnson

If you are a parent of an individual with autism or an education or speech professional who works with the autism community, then you know communication can be a challenge. Some individuals may not develop spoken language, while others have well-developed vocabularies, but are challenged with trying to use the vocabulary. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) may provide the answer.
