Our
Mission:
"Helping
You to Make the
Right Choice"
in Augmentative Communication
& Software Solutions
Over the past
few years, Augmentative Communication Consultants, Inc. has
expanded its product line to include pre-vocational
materials, resources for autism, funding, educational
software solutions, dynamic displays, speech generating
devices, and our website. Augmentative Communication
Consultants, Inc. represents over a dozen manufacturers of
augmentative communication and other assistive technologies,
offering demonstrations, products, workshops and consultation. ACCI is an
independent women-owned business and does not work for any
one single manufacturer. As such, you can be assured
at receiving impartial advice for assistive technology
solutions that is best for your client's needs, not because
it is the only product we sell.
Millie Telega, SLP, CCC has over 30 years
experience specializing in augmentative communication with a
wide range of ages and disabilities in schools, hospitals,
rehabilitation centers, and residential settings.
Adding to
Millie's
expertise is the fact that she is an advocate for her
step-son, Matthew (pictured on our home page), who is a
medically, physically, and visually challenged young adult. Through the "miracle" of technology, Matt enjoys a
lifestyle that less than a few decades ago would have been
impossible. Matt uses an ultimate switch mounted to his
wheelchair to access his communication device using Speaking
Dynamically Pro with audible previews with Boardmaker, via a
switch interface along with a wide selection of single
switch software. Matt uses his ultimate switch, with
environmental controls, to play games, do chores around the
house, assist in cooking and to help in his Mom's office by
shredding paper for packaging materials along with attending
an adult training program where he uses his assistive
technology equipment.
With hands on
experience and with other trained ACCI staff members, ACCI
strives to give the consumer the ability to make an informed
choice. Augmentative Communication Consultants, Inc. is service oriented -whether you simply need
advice, develop an Augmentative Communication
Program, a demonstration...or to place
an order.....Call Augmentative Communication Consultants, Inc.
