CoughDrop focuses on empowering individuals with complex communication challenges by providing innovative open-source technology that is easily customizable to meet their unique needs, fostering an environment where everyone involved can contribute to their success. Each communication system is tailored specifically for the individual, and CoughDrop offers a variety of vocabulary sets designed for different proficiency levels, alongside built-in supports, assessment tools, and progression mechanisms that allow users to start with basic communication and advance over time. Many individuals face difficulties in expressing themselves due to various disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and Rett syndrome, which can hinder their ability to communicate effectively. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) software plays a crucial role in bridging these communication gaps, ensuring that every voice can be heard. CoughDrop’s app is accessible on multiple devices for families, providing not only a platform for communication but also a wealth of activity suggestions and strategies to empower families and friends in their efforts to support meaningful interactions. By bringing together technology and community, CoughDrop aims to create an inclusive environment where every individual can thrive.
