Sidney Daswick
Sidney lives in Arizona with her mom and dad and her dogs, R-Nee and Nacho. She enjoys cooking, theater, and live music. She has been using augmentative communication since she was 5 years old.
Sidney uses a two-switch scanner with a PRC Accent device, on which she can say anything from single words to long sentences. The PRC Accent contains thousands of words and potentially limitless combinations. Through her years of experience, Sidney has essentially mastered its patterns and functionality.
With a strong passion to share her skills and enthusiasm with other device users, Sidney's excited to use Teach and Talk as a way to showcase the possibilities of assistive technology. Welcome!
