Liberator are a communication aid manufacturer who create a huge range of devices and programmes to help those with limited speech to have a voice and they quite often supply our charity with their ‘accents’ range. These AAC devices  which when loaded with grid software, are customisable to the user’s unique needs. Using buttons with words, symbols, pictures or a combination on them users can create sentences and phrases that are then read aloud by the machine. Assistive technology users can then customise these grids, using their own images, phrases and even recorded snippets of voice.
