In 2016, AAC Live launched with a network of experts and professionals dedicated to solving some of the biggest problems in the assistive technology and AAC (alternative & augmentative communication) industries. Millions of people with speech-related disabilities rely on hardware and software devices to communicate every day; at home, at work and in the classroom. Co-founders Nick Cook and James O’Donnell learned from personal experience that although a speech device is an important piece of the communication puzzle, it only functions as well as the support team and implementation strategy that enable it. They set out to build a network of professionals who consult with families and schools on AT implementation, technical support and user training.

The Process

Yondo developers worked directly with the AAC Live to create a responsive website, profile pages and booking calendars for each professional. We created a custom dashboard for professionals to set availability, create consultation sessions and track user statistics. Yondo also built a custom listing feature for the website that users filter through to find professionals based on location, software expertise, type of service and more. Yondo followed AAC Live’s brand identity guidelines to create digital assets on the website that integrated seamlessly with the existing content.

Result

Yondo’s platform plan provided a seamless and secure user experience from the onset, which was critical in recruiting the top industry professionals to join the network. AAC Live has since merged with one of the biggest assistive technology companies in the industry to provide its customers with Yondo’s video-conference solutions. AAC Live is changing the way families and schools receive training and support for their assistive technology needs and it will continue to rely on Yondo to be an industry innovator.
