Ruben is a non-verbal autistic teenager who has now found his voice thanks to an augmentative communication device.
Experts worked to create a custom voice for him by blending his twin brother Zach’s voice with sounds from Reuben himself.

A person using AAC to expand their communication skills for the first time is so wonderful to watch. Finding the Symoji feature by @ThinkSmartbox a fun way to introduce AAC especially for younger adults. So much potential for social interactions outside of language

Imagine having to type every word with your eyes. Ok, I have predictable words and saved phrases to make things easier and quicker. This is my life and I feel very lucky to have a voice and a career. 💖

Can you help us with some research?
Together with @ThinkSmartbox and our AAC advisory group, we're doing some research to try and understand factors that might cause people to stop using their AAC device.
