Default AAC: A User's Perspective

Hello everyone, here is a link that was given to me by my speech language pathologist. It is for a website that contains a webcast of a speech given by a PALS named Colin Portnuff who talks about how his life has been affected by his inability to speak. So much of what he says rings true for me, especially when he describes his telephone experiences and his priorities for speech software.

Barry,
This Video was so helpful. I think this man was such a amazing person, so grateful what he did for so many. He is so smart, so kind, and a amazing presenter, just amazing... Thank you for sharing. Wish Colin was still with us, he would be a friend to so many fellow Pals.
