Free AAC for Californians of all ages.
Speech Bee is now a provider for the Voice Options program in California.
A partnership through the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Department of Rehabilitation, the Voice Options Program offers eligible Californians who are unable to speak, or have difficulty speaking, with a free speech-generating device. The goal of this program is to ensure full and equal telephone communications access for all Californians with disabilities.
When it comes to choosing a speech-generating application, it is imperative to select one that highlights your strengths, and skills and fully meets your needs without leaving you feeling restricted. Through this program, any eligible Californian referred to a Voice Options provider will have the opportunity to test six different speech-generating applications for up to 14 days. The six applications that will be provided are:
GoTalk NOW Plus
LAMP Words for Life
Predictable
Proloquo2Go
Proloquo4Text
TouchChat HD with WordPower
Once the trial period has ended, the user will exchange the borrowed iPad for a new one with their preferred speech-generating application already loaded and ready to go.
