AbleNet Inc. Announces the NEW QuickTalker Freestyle Speech Generating Device

AbleNet Inc. introduces the new QuickTalker Freestyle, a highly customizable iPad-based speech generating device (SGD) for individuals who are unable to speak for themselves.

St. Paul, MN – MAY 8, 2015 – AbleNet Inc., a world leader in assistive technology, curriculum, and services for persons with disabilities, announces today the new QuickTalker Freestyle, an iPad-based SGD with the critical options necessary for speech-language pathologists to better meet the needs of their clients.

Unlike other dedicated speech generating devices available today, QuickTalker Freestyle provides greater customization by harnessing the power of the iPad Air or iPad mini, providing opportunity to prescribe nearly any augmentative and alternative communication app, and choose from a selection of protective cases. QuickTalker Freestyle leverages great consumer technology with custom configuration, exceptional sound output, switch access, and durability to meet the unique needs of people with communication disabilities. Additionally, AbleNet Funding Service provides access to funding options for the QuickTalker Freestyle SGD creating an unprecedented opportunity for people with communication disabilities to get what they need.

“For years clinicians have struggled to provide an SGD that was flexible enough to meet the needs of a wide variety of people with communication impairments,” said Chris Gibbons, Director of Funding Services at AbleNet. “Using iPads as a platform for SGDs, we have seen greater success meeting the needs of a range of clients. Now, QuickTalker Freestyle allows therapists to more easily choose the best communication app and device options. This puts the person’s needs in the driver’s seat with the SGD specifically configured to meet their needs.”

In addition, AbleNet is assisting individuals with disabilities to determine their eligibility to fund their QuickTalker Freestyle through Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance. For many individuals with disabilities, funding plays a critical role in their ability to obtain the appropriate device for them to effectively communicate with others in a variety of scenarios throughout the day.
