DynaVox V vs. Vantage Lite

[Guest guest]

Hey All,

Good Evening. I hope you all are having a great weekend. My son's AAC

specialist is recommending a device to help him continue to grow his

vocabulary and social interactions as his speech continues to develop.

is 4 with spastic CP, verbal Apraxia, and dysarthria. For the last

year he has been using a pecs-based communication book with some success

(won't touch it at home but seems to use it a lot at school). is

currently at an SDC preschool and will probably be in an SDC kindergarten

next year.

The specialist (an SLP for Lucile Packard Children's Hospital) recommended

either going with the DynaVox V or the Vantage Lite. Does anyone on the

list have any experience with either? Any positive or negative reviews

would be greatly appreciated. This is our first endeavor in to AAC so we

are a bit clueless. Also if there other options we should be looking at,

please let me know.

I am heading to Europe for the next week and will be researching on the Net

while I am out there, so if you do not mind sending me suggestions to my

work email which is copied here (aman.bawa@...

Kind Regards,

Aman
