Autism Spectrum Disorder represents just one reason children can be non-verbal, with My First Voice also seeking to help nonverbal conditions arising out of cerebral palsy, hearing-impaired mutism and other development disorders, representing millions of impacted children throughout India. Ahead of World Autism Day on 5 April, Monks and CCI are announcing an ongoing partnership to scale up the My First Voice solution to reach more parents and children across India. The ‘My First Voice’ interface uses AI to give speech-impaired children the ability to communicate in their very own voice by replicating the personalized tone and texture of their sounds.
