Lingraphica Awarded Three-year CARF Accreditation
Princeton, New Jersey — January 22, 2009 — CARF International announced that Lingraphica has been accredited for a three-year period to supply speech-generating devices for persons with aphasia.

This accreditation, the first for Lingraphica, is the highest that can be awarded to an organization and shows Lingraphica’s conformance to CARF standards. To receive a three-year accreditation, an organization goes through a rigorous peer review process and demonstrates to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its programs and services are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.

Lingraphica, maker of the Lingraphica speech-generating device and SmallTalk apps for the iPhone and iPod touch, is a for-profit organization with offices in Princeton, New Jersey. It has been providing speech-generating devices nationally since 1991.

CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.
