AUTISTICADVOCACY.ORG: "ASAN Statement on Sprint 'Neurodiversity ID Pack'" (June23, 2014)
(http://www.autisticadvocacy.org/2014/06 ... ty-id-pack)

"The Autistic Self Advocacy Network applauds Sprint for their newly announced 'Neurodiversity ID Pack' containing a number of apps designed to support people with cognitive and developmental disorders. By selecting a package of apps specifically aimed at facilitating accessibility and inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Sprint has demonstrated an important commitment to cognitive access in the realm of mobile and tablet computing. In particular, the inclusion of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) apps demonstrates the increasing role played by mobile technology in empowering communication for autistic children and adults as well as others with communication related disabilities...."
