What Setup Looks Like
- Grid software needs to be downloaded and installed on Windows or iPad devices — takes about 15 minutes.
- The text vocabularies are included free and work right away with typing or touch.
- Setting up alternative access methods like eye gaze or switches requires additional hardware and typically takes professional help from a speech therapist or assistive technology specialist to calibrate and customize for the user's specific needs.
