<br>
When you ask if iCommunicator might be an option for the student - my first
thoughts are "What are you trying to accommodate?" and "What
accommodations has she used previously?" <br>
<br>
If use of the ALD doesn't provide her with sufficient communication access in
the classroom, then educational transcription (TypeWell/CPrint/CART) might be
better alternative. Especially considering she is a graduate student. <br>
<br>
Does the student know and use ASL? Is her first language ASL? For
classroom access, the iCommunicator would need to be trained by each instructor
in order for it to be useful. (Think of Dragon Naturally Speaking and multiple
users.) Also, iCommunicator does NOT provide ASL. Is the student wanting
interpreting services? A remote interpreter would provide better
communication access than iCommunicator. <br>
<br>
If you're considering it for 1-on-1 communication, the UbiDuo might be a better
alternative. We've had students who simply used WordPad on their laptops (even
Netbooks) for brief conversations.<br>
