Her Voice Has Power - Ava’s Story

At 22 months, Ava was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome. Soon after, Jennifer, Ava’s mom, stumbled across videos on CZcams of girls with Rett Syndrome using Tobii Dynavox devices to communicate. From then on, her family made it their mission to integrate the technology into their everyday lives. Now age 5, Ava uses a variety of Tobii Dynavox eye gaze devices and AAC software to communicate and express her needs, wants and feelings. Learning about the technology and how to use it has not only been a learning experience for Ava, but for her whole family. Watch Ava’s Story to learn how she describes herself, how her family functions as a communication team, and to get a glimpse into her communication journey.

There is no loss of intellect, just a body that's not cooperating. Just because people speak differently, that doesn't mean they don't have anything to say.

Beautiful. We have a non verbal son who also uses a tobii dynovox. It saved our family. Best hopes for your family.

Hi Jeela, thank you so much for your kind words. It's really fantastic to hear how technology can improve people's lives. This is what keeps us going!

Life exists for a reason.
Now with eye tracking technology, those with severe disabilities and locked in syndrome can live life via communication through a compatible AAC device.

Salut ! Je trouve cette pub pas très cool de la part de Dynavox. Le polyhandicap est une mine d'or pour ces firmes. Par contre elles ne font pas trop d'effort pour développer des outils de communication véritables (exception faite des pictos) ou des jeux adaptés (autres que ceux niveau CP proposés dans Look to learn...).
Dans la vidéo, on ne voit pas Ava utiliser le logiciel, on ne la voit pas utiliser la grille de comm (un extrait de Communicator 4 ou 5).
Ce que nous demandons, nous parents ce sont des logiciels dédiés ou mieux encore, des lignes de code
de l'Open Source pour adapter l'existant à nos enfants.

Thank you for sharing a lovely story! What a lovely family. Do you have any support from speech and language therapy?
