Dear X,

I wanted to email - we made a free disabilty aid that might be useful for your developement work.

Up to 15 in every 1,000 children have such severe speech-language impairments that they have difficulty making themselves understood. This affects everything from daily activities like playing with other children and taking part in school, to talking to a doctor about your symptoms, telling your friends about your hopes and dreams, or telling your family you love them.

Electronic speech aids, which ‘speak’ set words or phrases when a sequence of symbols are pressed, can be life-changing for these children, but current devices are expensive even in economically developed countries. The Open Voice Factory provides free speech aid software by converting communication boards into communication devices.

I've attached a one page information sheet for more information.

Dr Joseph Reddington.
