I really did swallow a bit and looked at the ceiling reading this (at a public place).

A traditional AAC was way too abstract. My son has no clue that a red octagon means stop. He has no idea what stop even means in that context.

When I travel, I really like looking at the public graphics for no parking, no entry, etc. Some places are basically just text, but others really have great little illustrations that communicate the message without needing words.

For example – I think it was in France or Spain where the No Trespassing sign is an angry little yelling man with his hand up. It would be helpful if more public graphic designs made this much effort.

This is great. I knew a kiddo who had to use gaze to talk, due to paralysis, but it was all a bit cumbersome, so she didn't have her talk screen most of the time. I never did get to see how it was organized.

Having something more personalized and hopefully less expensive / easier to bring with you sounds amazingly useful.
