As of April 2007 all enquiries by people currently using a mobile phone with Text to Speech software (Talks or Mobile Speak) should go through the Adaptive Technology Helpdesk. All sales enquires (people wanting to purchase a phone) should now go to Equipment Services. If you have a general enquiry about mobile phones, what the options are and what text-to-speech (talks) is, go firstly to the Adaptive Technology team member in your area (listed below). If they are unavailable please call the Adaptive Communication Instructor in your area (listed below).
