Imagine not being able to speak. You have things you want to say, but no way to verbalize your thoughts. This was the situation Miguel Garcia Vazquez, 22, was in following a brain injury.
Therapists introduced Miguel to an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device, the Tobii Dynavox I-Series.
