CoughDrop is a simple, flexible, cloud-based AAC app that also happens to be open source. We believe every voice should be heard, and that technology can go a lot farther than it has in the past to help make that happen. CoughDrop empowers communicators -- and the teams around them -- with cloud-based features and reporting and collaborative features that help communication grow over time. CoughDrop can run on most devices and has a free 2-month trial. After that can be purchased monthly or long-term.
the github coughdrop/coughdrop repo shared here doesn't exist anymore? 404's I saw some other ones on the account, but not sure which one is the one I should check out. I want to poke at this and see how it's licenced. Building something to help my dad talk with limited eye movements. (he just got a stroke / locked-in syndrome)
Kate, thank you for all that you've shared here, really great information and I will share this video with the many teachers and SLPs I meet who are looking for guidance and resources.
Wow, this is super impressive and thorough! Lenora is so blessed to have you, as well as all the other children that will benefit and families from your input and work! I like the pamphlet idea getting the caretakers to know the person. As I take care of mom every day I see where this would be handy to give to caregivers to assist her with the challenges of Alzheimer’s and dementia. The personalization touch gives one faith and trust in the caregiver as well. Well done Sis! This might just make video of the year! 😘
Question how do i edit within a folder. Lets say im in edit mode and want to edit within a secondary board such as food. How can i get into the folder to edit?
Just watched your video. Excellent . I tutor and would love to use, borrow, buy your adapted slides. I have been teaching UFLI since its conception and have adapted using many of your strategies. thank you.
This workshop/video is fantastic! I am an AAC specialist in my district and am really trying to push/encourage literacy with our students with complex communication needs. You presented great research and ideas that I can use with my teachers/SLP's. Thank you so much!
Hi, Adult lifelong AAC user, former foster kid and sexual assault survivor user here. Speech devices are voice prostheses. Does nondisabled person want someone manipulating their larynx or reading their messages as they type? Absolutely not! That’s what it feels like when someone When anyone of any age demonstrates a boundary that’s healthy. It’s not an attitude. It’s a skill we need to survive. If boundaries keep going up have an impartial ally they trust involved. Ask “Do you feel unsafe? Would you like to talk with someone else? I’m here for you. Your emotions and safety matter to me. Show me what you need. I’m listening.”
Hi Nathan, she was one of our moderators for AAC in the Cloud. We don't normally share their information without permission, but if you'd like to reach out to Melissa DeMoux at melissa@coughdrop.com she can send your information to the moderator and ask if she would be willing to get in touch. Thanks!
This was a very helpful video. I am looking forward to learning how to implement this into working with my kiddos. You are blessing many others and I just wanted to say thank you for putting your efforts into making a beautiful difference in this world. God Bless You All:)
