Introducing Via Nano – Your Handheld IOS Communication Device

Via® Nano represents the power of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in a compact design. This speech-generating device pairs well with your active lifestyle. Lightweight and comfortable to hold in your hand or with a strap, Via Nano also tucks easily into a backpack, purse, or tote for convenient all-day communication. Our smallest device maximizes your experience with dynamic display, superior sound, and the familiarity of iOS you know and love.

This brand-new device in the Via product family is a great match for many who desire portable AAC on an iOS platform. Here are just a few:

• Older children and teens looking for a durable AAC device that fits their style and social life
• Young adults transitioning from high school to working who would benefit from a small device
• Individuals recovering from a stroke who are adding high-tech AAC into their communication mix
• Veterans who desire a discreet but powerful AAC option for daily communication
• Switch scanners who want Bluetooth® connection in a lightweight AAC device

“We are excited to offer the Via Nano,” said Mike Broome, Via Product Manager. “This compact, fundable device will allow AAC users to be heard wherever they go. The robust, clean design will not disappoint communicators who are on the go and don't want to transport a larger device.”
