One of my tutoring students is a late bloomer in terms of AAC. It wasn't until 17 when he received his first dynamic display device, a Tobii C-Eye.
Six months later he was hanging out in his kitchen with a friend, blasting Shania Twain on his iTunes, through her Tobii.
"That's too loud; turn it down!" his mother told him. Like any other teen would he turned it down, but just a little.
One of the best gifts of AAC and accessible environmental control is a chance to be like any other kid. Not to mention the chance for a parent to be like any other parent.
