It is a fantastic communication resource and we will be able to showcase ways it enables independence within our one bedroom liveable design apartment.
A big thank you to Dynavox and Spectronics for providing the Dynavox Maestro as a major prize of the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference 2012 – this conference rocked our world
