Carr Brackett - DynaVox: Down Syndrome AAC Success Story 

It's kind of sad how disability is so prominently viewed as a reason to involve and promote technology, to have people not only work through it, but be manipulated so that someone else is using it through them, which is the opposite of what is openly presented to others. There is a very wide range of ability in down syndrome, and because Carr was so able, he was just the right guy to help in painting what was just the right picture to help those involved in producing this video to put Down Syndrome in just the idealistic light they wanted to. It makes down syndrome as a whole seem great, like it's nothing to worry about at all, but it's not representative. People do this to promote autism all the time.

I have a grandaughter that has DS and just found out about this DynaVox. I hope we can get her approved for one of these through insurance. This is a great story and gives me more hope for my grandaughter's futher.

Such a handsome fellow! Awesome to see him being all bubbly!

Awesome! This video was very useful and informative! our 8 year old son has severe autism but is semi verbal. We have been looking into these devices WHICH INSURANCE OFTEN PAYS FOR! Nice to know this works on multiple levels!

I want to come to Sweden and woek woth Tobi Dynovox. I am a Speech Lamguage Pathologist and use AAC with 2 of my students woth DS.
