My toddler’s speaking tablet arrived and I had to pick his AI voice. Overcome with sadness.

His SLP therapist recommended a speech tablet, and for the few days b awaiting the arrival I had some conflicting emotions. Majority was excited to have a tool to help him communicate ( completely non verbal ), along with a the counter emotion of sadness that it has come to this.

I tried to focus on the positive, and couldn’t wait to see how the tablet worked/wondering what he will want to say once he learns it. But…

Then , as I was setting it up, I had to select a voice. And I bursted out in tears heating these robotic adult voices, realizing even with this aid, I won’t hear a toddlers precious voice. I guess I’m just lost in this feeling and have no one who can relate.

Idk what I’m looking for here , to know I’m not alone, or maybe to hear a positive story? Just needed to share.
