Finding Voice When Words Fail | Columbus News

from Columbus News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

When words fail, tech steps in—Ohio State’s speech lab is helping nonverbal patients find their voice through eye-tracking apps, symbol boards, and AI-powered sentence builders, all often covered by insurance. Real-world impact shines in Vinton County, where rescued children’s communication needs exposed systemic gaps, while Ohio law now mandates assistive tech for courts and child welfare. Inspiring stories like Jordyn Zimmerman’s—once silenced for years, now a vocal advocate—prove that with the right tools, everyone deserves to be heard and included.
