Ensuring everyone at camp has a augmentative and alternative communications device #AssistiveTechnology #PyPortal #Adafruit @AT_Makers

http://atmakers.org/2019/06/low-cost-aac-devices/

Via ATMakers.org comes a wonderful design:

 We’ve worked with LessonPix Custom Learning Materials and Minor Achievements Learning Center to create a camp where every kid has access to a basic AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) device. We have two types of devices: an Android-based tablet running CoughDrop, and a custom device built on the Adafruit PyPortal intelligent screen.

The custom devices are made with an Adafruit PyPortal, a battery charger and a speaker along with some custom CircuitPython code.  You can see more about it in this section of the Show & Tell broadcast from June 20, 2019.

We will have separate guides on how to build the devices after our camps are through (and we’ve learned all our lessons)

See the videos below for more on this assistive technology solution.
