Technology at January's ASBC lecture series.

Mike described developing communication with Debby during their years together in Texas, then the giant leap forward after utilizing Facilitated Communication and augmentative devices in the early 1990's.  

Debby presented strategies and tools which facilitate and promote communication with a variety of individuals in a variety of situations. She demonstrated different devices and gave information on how to learn more about device use.  Debby assesses individuals  at Boulder Community Hospital's Mapleton Center weekly.
