Hi Erin,
Anyone who does AAC evals (especially for patients with ALS)
should have a copy of AlphaCore on all their DynaVox evaluation devices
(VMax, V, Maestro, EyeMax). The local DynaVox rep will get it to
you if you don't have it.
Also, I'll have a new version of AlphaCore out very soon that includes
two brand new page-sets especially tailored to pALS who use
eyegaze. I will post when the new version is available so you can ask
your rep for it. (Ideally, he/she will let you know)
Please do let me know if you have any trouble getting a free copy of
AlphaCore for evaluations. DynaVox wants SLPs to have the
evaluation tools they need easily at hand so they should be happy to
get it to you.
Sincerely,
Amy Roman, MS,

Here is the message list I hand out.
It helps to spark pALS imagination and inspire them to voice
bank. Also, look at page sets like AlphaCore to see what phrases in
each category you like. Check out AlphaCore Xtreme for the largest
bank of phrases within topics like Greetings, News& Stories, Comfort
& Positioning, Control Communication, Chat X-Tenders, Phone, General
Needs, Appointments, Shopping, Entertainment, etc.
Also, check out David Beukelman and Michelle Gutmann's list at

I am going to do some voice banking with an ALS patient- in
the past weâve just created our own lists of phrases but I was hoping
that someone out there might have a functional list of common phrases and
sentences that we could voice bank so that we have some real functional
phrases. I would love if you could forward it to me if so! Any tips
with voice banking are welcome too!
Anything I donât have to create on my own saves time and
makes me very happy!
