We believe everyone deserves a voice.
For 50 years, Prentke Romich Company has been leading the way in giving a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. Since our founding in 1966, PRC has paved the way in the development of speech-generating devices (SGDs) and continues to innovate in the field of augmentative and alternative communication.
We are also a pioneer in the field of language and vocabulary development, giving children and adults with communication challenges the ability to participate in life.
