With a Click of a Flic

Loving me some technology!

There are more and more products, not specifically designed for persons with disabilities, which have great applications for PWDs (people with disabilities).  I recently found Flic.  It’s a one inch button that wirelessly connects to a smartphone or Iphone that can be programmed to do a number of tasks, including turning smart lights on and off, making phone calls or sending texts with a click. Imagine being able to call for help when you can't reach your communication device! We are using Flic to send a text that says "I need HELP" and shows where you are located.

It costs less than $35 on Amazon.
Did you know – if you shop online at Amazon, they will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases to the charitable organization selected by you (I hope you will choose New Voices Foundation!).   https://smile.amazon.com/  Same products and prices as the regular amazon site.

Welcome to New Voices Speaks


New Voices Foundation's mission is to improve the education opportunities of children with significant disabilities, affecting their ability to speak and move, by increasing awareness of their underestimated potential and elevating the capabilities of families, teachers, and other professionals who work with them.

Working with school districts and other like-minded organizations, New Voices provides supplemental materials and assessment tools, improves access to assistive technology, and provides training and resources to those who work with them. While New Voices’ focus has been in the Triangle region of North Carolina, New Voices is committed to replication across the state and the country.  We believe every child should be given the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential.
