For some, transforming the words in their head into audio that others can hear is a significant challenge, and sometimes the auditory properties of one's own speech can feel “wrong” or uncomfortable.

This session shares the development and utility of this tool as a means of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and personal affirmation.
