Hi Deborah,

I use Luminaud.com for amplifiers. The have very good quality products. At our ALSA Lending Library we have have had good luck with the Spokeman (small) or Chattervox (for larger groups) with the 3 way high gain mic. All of these are available at Luminaud.com

BTW- You could borrow one from our library if we have one in stock. Contact me if you want me to check. Also the Spokeman and 3 Way High Gain Mic will be in the ALSA Golden West AAC Assessment Tool Kit I will be giving to you next week.

Sincerely,

She is nonambulatory, mildly dysarthric and looking for a amplifier that might get paid for by her University (she teaches a lab in molecular biology; her classroom is mic'ed). I looked at Helen Patterson's recommendation of the Monocor system but it seems available international Amazon, not here in the states. Is there any reason not to purchase something like that since everything comes from overseas anyway?
