InterAACt and Access to the World
If physical abilities need to be supported, DynaVox devices can act as remote control
providing increased independence for people with limited mobility. Through the use
of the AAC device's remote control unit, people with cerebral palsy can operate
a variety of household appliances such as televisions, lights and telephone through
infrared technology. In addition, computer access functions on the communication
device can allow individuals to send and receive email, operate a computer with
full keyboard and mouse functions or behave as a fully operating Windows computer
(optional).
