Ep. 24 Breaking Comm Barriers: The UbiDuo 3 & the Future of Face-to-Face Communication | Jason Curry

Learn more about today's guest: What if you could communicate face-to-face with anyone—without Wi-Fi, the internet, or an app? In Episode 24 of the Assistive Tech Today Podcast, Vinny sits down with Jason Curry, co-founder of sComm, to talk about the UbiDuo 3, an innovative assistive technology device designed to create more equal face-to-face communication for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, have hearing loss, or are nonverbal. Jason shares the powerful personal story behind the invention of the UbiDuo and explains how this standalone communication device is being used in hospitals, DMVs, government agencies, schools, businesses, and everyday life. We also discuss real-time communication, speech-generating technology, Medicare and private insurance coverage, accessibility, and the importance of removing communication barriers. This is a great conversation about how assistive technology can give people greater independence, accessibility, and the freedom to communicate anywhere, anytime. Special thanks to our ASL interpreter Tayna Northcraft for her support with this episode.

At the same time, there are individuals, families and professionals who grew up with or prefer using person‑first language (“person with autism”). We want to acknowledge these differences and honor the full range of perspectives within the community."
