The book focuses on software, tools, devices, and online resources that can help students with everyday tasks such as speaking, understanding, reading, writing, cognition, and memory.

Review by: Barbara Fernandes, GeekSLP.com - May 21, 2011
This guide is a well-organized resource that provides information about a variety of tools available to professionals assisting individuals who have a communication disorder. This is a great guide for anyone; and it is so user-friendly and organized that it would be extremely useful for those looking into becoming experts in technology.
Review by: Sean Sweeney, CCC-SLP, SpeechTechie - September 19, 2011
Green's resources span the domains of communication-verbal expression, auditory comprehension, reading and comprehension, written expression- as well as cognition and memory, and provide something for every platform (web-based, PC/Mac, and an impressive array of specific iPod and iPad apps). There is really something here that can help all clients on your caseload, as the resources span age ranges and levels of ability, from those who require switches to those who would benefit from high-level interactive websites.
