Enabling communication
through technology
Mission & Vision
WE BELIEVE the ability to connect and communicate with family, friends, and the broader world is a critical component of the human experience. No diagnosis should be allowed to rob an individual of this possibility.
OUR MISSION is to enable and empower people with neurodegenerative disorders to communicate by removing the barriers between them and assistive technology.
The Challenge
In the United States there are over a million people struggling from the impact of neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple system atrophy (MSA), muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and others.
These diseases can leave a person’s cognition intact while destroying their ability to move and communicate. Without assistive technology these individuals are left unable to express even their most basic needs.
Assistive technologies can help. These technologies can be very effective in restoring a person’s ability to communicate, but there are gaps that prevent these services from being successfully deployed:
Solutions
Bridging Voice assists people with neurodegenerative diseases with their computer access and communication technology needs at every juncture. We educate clients, their families and health practitioners on available communication options, streamline the process of accessing special technologies, and provide ongoing support, training, and customization to maximize every client’s quality of life. Through a range of personalized services, we help lift the technology burden off their shoulders.

Bridging Voice is an amazing organization that has been so supportive and caring about my needs. They also gave me fun ideas on how to use the computer to play and interact with my four and five year old children. I’m now able to tell them to clean up their toys in all different types of voices until they listen!

When life leaves you speechless and immobile, and eye contact is your only way to communicate, it can be barren. My eye gaze typing device made living my life possible again! I can convey the little things that make such a difference. If you have an option to have an “eye gaze speech augmentation device”

With concern, care, expertise, knowledge, and teamwork Bridging Voice opened a new world of communication to me where once I only saw this as a diminishing ability. Bridging Voice not only provides for enhanced communication in regards to ALS, but in addition provides hope.
