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).

Real life examples of how communication supports access to the world:
