Thank you for your interest in the Adler’s Voice Grant Program. Adler’s Voice will provide assistance to children and young adults up to age 21 residing in Oregon who experience a complex communication disorder so that they may access the tools they need to communicate to the best of their abilities. It is our belief that the ability to communicate in any way opens doors for all individuals.
Adler’s Voice provides Augmentative and Alternative Communication devices and software as well as funding for services, such as speech therapy sessions and sign language courses, to individuals with complex communication disorders. Grant awards are currently limited to $750 in value. Applications requesting Assistive Technology for educational purposes will not be considered. When a general-purpose device such as an iPad is provided, this device will be secured against the installation of additional applications besides the AAC software that is part of the grant.
