It Takes a Team to TANGO!
10 May 2010
David is a student in fourth grade at Keet Gooshi Heen Elementary School in Sitka. He experiences a syndrome that makes it difficult for him to formulate speech sounds. As a result, David and his team were evaluating different voice output devices. The team was in the midst of trials with an assistive technology (AT) device when David received the Tango from SESA’s lending library. SESA originally purchased the Tango through a grant funded by the Alaska Mental Health Trust to allow students in rural and remote areas of Alaska to try out the device. The Trust’s grant project is technically over, but the Tango continues traveling throughout Alaska and staying long enough to see if the device is a good fit for students following their “test drive.”
