Summary
To give everyone with a speech disability a way to SAY the same words speaking people say most each day. We are putting high frequency words on PowerPoint slides, with the sound added for each word, to give away and use in fun activities that research how useful and essential these words are. We want to make stories, movies and animations that foster language and literacy acquisition using these words, and reveal the plight of living without them. We want to do presentations, have permanently available virtual demonstrations online, and a website for free downloads and information sharing.

sounds like a fantastic project - I've used a similar kind of system when volunteering with young people with speech difficulties and it proved to be massively effective!

Michael this is a brilliant idea. so many young people can't get the equipment they need to communicate. This would make it affordable to so many more. Very young children now learn how to use powerpoint so it takes it out of the hands of specialists and into the hands of ordinary people.
