Summary A significant number of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) never gain functional speech across their lifespan. For many of these individuals, Speech Generating Devices (SGDs) have provided them with opportunities to verbalise their thoughts and needs to others. Recently, technology has developed to make these devices sound more like the person using them. The idea is that a more 'natural' voice, rich in accent, gender and tone, will create a greater sense of ownership for communication in the child, thus enhancing the frequency and richness of the child's social interactions.
