Information on ACCI
Adding to her expertise is the fact that she is the step-mother of a severely visually/physically challenged young adult Matthew (pictured on home page). Though the "miracle" of technology, Matt enjoys a lifestyle that less than a decade ago would have been impossible. Matt uses head switches mounted to his headrest connected to two BIGmacks™ (featured under Communication Devices to indicate a reliable yes/no). Matt also uses an elbow switch to access auditory scanning a communication device and communication software. Speaking Dynamically™ with audible previews (featured under software), along with environmental controls to play games, assist in cooking, chores around the house and to help in his mom's office by shredding paper for packaging materials. With this hands on experience along with other trained ACCI staff members, ACCI strives to give the consumer the ability to make an informed choice. ACCI is service oriented -whether you simply need advice, or want to develop an Augmentative Communication Program or want training....Call ACCI. P.S. Matt wanted to add -that if any teenage girls wanted to contact him, he can be reached at ACCI.
