Speech Generating Devices (SGDs) are assistive communication tools that produce synthesized or recorded speech, allowing individuals to communicate effectively. SGDs are a specific form of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), which encompasses a wide range of strategies and tools. SGDs specifically provide voice output, while AAC includes both technology-based and non-technology-based communication methods.
Key Benefits of SGDs:
- Enhanced Communication.
- Social Engagement.
- Increased Independence.
- Access to Opportunities.
- Tailored Support.
