#high tech aac

reasons of why I ❤️ my AAC machine :

I love my machine because it doesn't sound as scary as my voice (I have tone issues that make me sound "scary" to others, by making me sound blunt, messy & expressing the wrong feelings almost always)

I love my machine because it lets me express my words in a way that matches my brain words more accurately (I have expressive aphasia & when I talk it's always hard to say what I'm really thinking; this is unreliable speech for me)

I love my machine because it helps me organising my thoughts (disorganized thinking due to my schizophrenia affects me everyday, and having a little world to use as my second brain is really helpful)

I love my machine because I can play silly sounds with it (have soundboard where have lots of silly & fun sounds to play when I feel like it)

I love my machine because I can decorate it all I want! currently I have the cutest stickers on her, as well as an informative card & a kiwi bird plushie hanging from her

I've had to fight for years to get where I am this day, both to have people believe my speech difficulties & to have a device that suits my needs! keep going AAC users, you're all doing great 👍

people who use word tone in aac how does it work for you? I've been thinking about trying it because theres silly stuff I'm nervous about saying because it might get taken seriously

and do you prefer it to just read "silly" or "slash(/) silly"

one thing i hate about using tts rather than buttons is if spell word wrong, it say the word wrong and then people don’t understand what i mean. also sorry grammar is bad im always so tired after therapy
