Ellie is a bright and vibrant young lady with so much to share. She faces some unique challenges with communication, which is why having the right Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device plays such an important role in helping her express herself clearly and connect meaningfully with those around her.
After exploring various options, the Grid Pad 13 felt like a perfect match for Ellie. Its highly adaptable interface, advanced features, and extensive customization capabilities made it not just a helpful communication tool but a truly empowering one. With the Grid Pad 13, Ellie can communicate more independently and effectively, whether she’s engaging in daily conversations, participating in academic activities, or sharing her thoughts and ideas with family and friends.
From a young age, Ellie has depended on an AAC device to express herself and connect with others. The Grid Pad 13 has empowered her to communicate more effectively and with greater ease. Its adaptability has allowed Ellie to tailor the device to her unique preferences and needs, making it an indispensable part of her daily life.
Earlier this year, we had the joy of celebrating Ellie's birthday with her. It was a heartwarming occasion that highlighted her journey and the significant role her AAC device has played in her life.
“Tailoring her device to fit her needs has opened up new possibilities for communication. She is able to do things now that she was not able to do before.”

As the school year kicks off, Ellie is heading back to class with a powerful tool by her side: the Grid Pad 13. Thanks to its extensive customization features in Grid 3, Ellie, who has a vision impairment, now uses personalized grid sets that meet her unique needs. This tailored approach has transformed her communication, helping her engage more confidently with her surroundings.
With greater independence and freedom, Ellie is thriving, whether she’s participating in classroom discussions, connecting with friends, or sharing special moments at home. The Grid Pad 13 isn’t just a device; it’s a gateway to learning, growth and self-expression.
We’re excited to see how Ellie continues to shine this school year, empowered by technology that truly supports her voice.
