Abstract

Individuals that are nonverbal use different forms of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to communicate their wants and needs. The Tobii-Dynavox I-13 device with TD Snap Plus Eye Gaze is one of the common high-tech devices that individuals use. To obtain the device, a team of professionals come together to evaluate if an individual may benefit from this resource. They then work closely to support individuals who are nonverbal obtain access to the most appropriate education. Given that technology is continuing to evolve, special education teachers, speech language pathologists and other stakeholders in education are faced with challenges when utilizing and implementing these devices. A simple toolbox to navigate the Tobii-Dynavox I-13 device with TD Snap Plus Eye Gaze and Board maker will help assist professionals and families with the challenges they may face.
