We understand that new technology can take time to learn and use.  A lack of support at this critical time can lead to feeling overwhelmed and deciding to give up. At Liberator, we’re invested in the communication journey, well beyond the moment of unboxing the new device. 

We’re committed to providing reliable and responsive support to build confidence with our communication technologies. 

We call this Partnership, and we’re excited to offer our ongoing, monthly Partnership with the new Via Mini device. 

From day one with a new device, our team will: 

• Partner with an AAC Communicator on their communication journey 
• Collaborate with the team around the AAC Communicator 
• Be a guide to navigate the future with the new device 
• Co-design a map for the road ahead 
• Be responsive and reliable when support is needed 
• Give expert advice on the new communication device 
• Provide regular coaching to assist in moving towards identified communication goals
