Silver Kite, a comprehensive new resource offering helpful solutions and information for people with speech disabilities, was launched today by three leading companies in assistive technology: Saltillo, PRC, and AMDi.

On Silver Kite's robust website educators, therapists, users of assistive technology, and caregivers can now more easily browse, select, and purchase the industry's best communication products.

The site presents products from several manufacturers in one place, plus support features to aid product selection and implementation, including training videos, teaching resources, and user reviews. Live chat capabilities are planned to enable site visitors to speak directly with clinicians about product selection and use.

"Our goal is to consolidate in one convenient place the most effective assistive technology products and support to help customers make informed product choices," said Dave Hershberger, President of Saltillo. "We're committed to enabling everyone with differing abilities to soar independently, like a kite in the air. Silver Kite provides tools and personal guidance to make selecting the right product easier."

The Silver Kite Preferred Partner program saves schools, clinics, and other large-volume customers 5-10% on purchases and provides priority access to device loaners, implementation webinars, and more.
