AAC

Wondering if anyone has had any luck obtaining a communication aid for their child. although Sam is decannulated, he is still unable to speak and it is likely to be a long time before we get anywhere with that. we have the opportunity to trial a speech device (liberator) for Sam for a couple of weeks. Has anyone found anything that works well for their children. Sam is cognitively aware and extremely literate so needs something pretty high tech.

another question is funding - the one we are trialling is almost £3500! It's a lot of money, which we cannot afford - is there a good charity out there who would help. we dont qualify for the family fund.

TIA
