PRC-Saltillo, a global leader in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), is proud to announce that Avaz, known for its multilingual, design-forward AAC app, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of PRC-Saltillo. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in PRC-Saltillo’s mission to expand access to AAC solutions worldwide.
- Expanded AAC Portfolio: Avaz’s app joins PRC-Saltillo’s trusted suite of AAC solutions—including TouchChat®, LAMP Words for Life®, Dialogue® AAC, Unity® AAC, Accent®, NovaChat®, and Via®—offering new possibilities for users across diverse languages, communication needs, and operating systems
- Strengthened Global Presence: A newly incorporated entity in India enhances PRC-Saltillo’s ability to serve AAC users in India and Southeast Asia, regions where demand for communication support is rapidly growing
A Shared Vision for Inclusive Communication
“This partnership reflects our shared belief that AAC is a right, not a privilege,” said Sarah Wilds, CEO of PRC-Saltillo. “PRC-Saltillo’s legacy is rooted in creating tools that address communication, language development, access, and implementation challenges. Avaz complements this with its tech-integrated approach and deep understanding of multilingual user needs.”
Narayanan Ramakrishnan, CEO of Avaz, added, “Together, we’re uniquely positioned to expand access to AAC and share knowledge across borders. For both our customers and our internal teams, this means new opportunities to learn, innovate, and grow together.”
Customer Continuity and Support
All employees across Avaz and PRC-Saltillo’s global subsidiaries will remain in their roles, and customers can expect uninterrupted access to both Avaz and PRC-Saltillo devices, apps, services, and support. There are currently no plans for the prices, availability, or content of the Avaz and PRC-Saltillo apps to change. Both companies remain committed to the quality and care their customers trust.
