It's never too late to start with UK. But it's easier when you're a child, of course. And it's also fun - as in the case of Hanna (pictured), who communicates using the GoTalk NOW app on her LIFEpad.

Corona has also changed communication at LIFEtool. But via Zoom, the employees could still be there for their young and adult customers. For example, the screenshot shows Dominik using the GoTalk NOW application.
