New Voices

Thanks to the latest digital technology, children who are non-verbal are learning to “speak” for the first time and communicate with family, friends, and teachers. The iPad’s unique size and portability makes it a good fit for children with disabilities. Comprehensive language software and visual and audio applications, or “apps,” are available.

Currently seeking grant opportunities to fund the New Voices program.
