I am 23 years old and have been using a speech device for 8 years. I purchased my Pathfinder device when I graduated. I first heard about CAYA from my friend and prior consultant, Lois. My device is working well right now. I have met with the CAYA SLP to discuss plans to continue my vocabulary building and get help to program the device.
It’s awesome to have help when I get frustrated and to know that there will be someone to help me during these next few years as I work towards my independence. I hope CAYA continues.
Yours sincerely, Ashleigh Dukoff
