Free iPads - The Voice Options Program, California

 

FREE iPads / iPads Gratis

Revised 8/2022 due to SCRS-IL no longer participating in device distribution.

Original Post Date: October 04, 2021 (from East LA Regional Center Notifications)


The Voice Options Program offers Californians who are unable to speak or have difficulties speaking with a free speech-generating device (iPad). Through this program, any eligible Californian with a disability has the opportunity to test different applications and independently (for 14 days) and choose the one you believe is best for your needs. Once you choose your preferred speech-generating app, you will receive a brand-new iPad with the app of your choice, along with any assistive technology you may need to comfortably utilize your new iPad.

The five apps currently available to choose from are: GoTalk NOW Plus, LAMP Words for Life, Predictable, Proloquo2Go, Proloquo4Text, or TouchChat HD with WordPower.

Eligibility requirement: Must reside in California and have speech difficulty or unable to speak and can benefit from this program.


 How To Get Started:

  • Step One: Contact a Voice Options program provider near you (below) to schedule an orientation and demonstration.

  • Step Two: Participate in a Voice Options orientation and receive a speech-generating device demonstration.

  • Step Three: Take a short-term loaner iPad home for a 2 to 14-day trial period. The loaner iPad is preloaded with six speech-generating applications. You will practice using two or three of the applications during the trial period to help you determine which speech application will work best for you.

  • Step Four: Receive a new iPad with one speech-generating application of your choice downloaded onto the iPad.
