If I Had a VOCA

The adapted lyrics for this song were written to teach the world that everyone needs a way to communicate. A VOCA (Voice Output Communication Aid) can help someone with limited or no speech to communicate. Access to the right technology, training, and support is essential. With a keyboard people can type whatever they want to say, and literacy instruction helps them to tell the stories of their lives.
Sadly, many people spend months, years, and sometimes a lifetime without effective communication. We are working to change that. Everyone has something to say. Our goal is effective communication for all . . . in our lifetime!
This unique video uses a remarkable trio of computer-generated singing voices. These computerized voices are used by people who have little or no effective speech. It is rare to hear them sing and rarer still to hear them harmonize.
