So my Dynavox Vmax
speech device really began acting screwy on New Year’s Day. I would click on one item and get
another. Very strange and not
helpful. It had been acting up, and it
was something like 5 years old. I was
thinking of getting a new one anyway – I think I’m eligible for one through
Medi-cal every 2 years – and now I had to.
I contacted my
local Dynavox rep and was told I had to make an appointment with a speech
therapist for an evaluation in order to get funding. I just want a replacement, mind you. I called for an appointment and got one – for
next Tuesday, February 7, well over a month after I needed a new device. And I wonder how long it will take for the
new device to be approved and shipped after the evaluation.
What I want to know
is this: what if I couldn’t speak or was even harder to understand? Not to
mention all those who aren’t lucky enough to have access to this wonderful
technology.
