Abbey has autism, which hinders her ability to speak. In order for her to communicate to others, she uses a Dynaovx device. This device is a piece of assistive technology which allows Abbey to communicate she wants more bubbles, by pressing on the words on her screen. This is because the Abbey clicks on the word or phrase she wants the device to say, and it conveys her message. The machines also have a picture to go along with the words, if the person cannot read. In addition, the device has phrase prediction, quick fires, which make it easier to communicate. This device can be used in any setting and for any age. The more advanced Dynavoxs allow people to e-mail, create word documents, text, and easy telephone use. This device allows students to communicate in ways teachers and parents could only dream.
