Dr. Bob Segalman began a one-man mission to establish Speech to Speech in California during the early 1990s. His efforts have benefited all people with speech disabilities, giving them telephone access like never before. In 1998, the FCC proposed a mandate that all states initiate a Speech to Speech service. The Speech to Speech video features clinicians, researchers, communication assistants, business people and individuals with speech disabilities, plus reenacted and actual Speech to Speech telephone calls. Ideal for anyone interested in learning how Speech to Speech works. 11 min. video, closed captioned. 1999.
