“One of our core competencies is our ability to listen to our customers and seek unique solutions they see as essential to help them meet the needs of their student, clients, or family members.   The addition of these two new products will enhance our portfolio of high quality cost-effective voice output products.” stated Jen Thalhuber, AbleNet CEO.
