ableExperience for Families: Jeannie's Story

ableExperience for Families

Jeannie’s son has been using an AAC device for two years, and now her daughter is beginning her own journey. She describes how the process of obtaining a device through AbleNet was smooth and even faster the second time around with ableExperience for Families.

Jeannie highlights the detailed support and resources provided by AbleNet, especially the examples and breakdowns that made insurance submissions less stressful. She appreciates the clarity on what’s needed, which helped her feel confident and less overwhelmed.

Impact of the QuickTalker Freestyle

The QuickTalker Freestyle has not only improved communication for Jeannie’s children, but has also reduced stress for the whole family. Jeannie shares that her children’s ability to express themselves has led to fewer meltdowns and more positive social interactions. She describes the device as “an extension of their voice,” opening new doors for both her children.

“What I usually share with families who are considering a device or nervous about getting a device: the device is not going to hinder your child’s speech development. It’s going to give them more support and help them grow with their language, and it’ll take away their frustration."
