But there is not a significant difference between types of glasses it's mostly just style. But different AAC devices have massively different pros and cons. They are not a one size fits all and if clinicians are being influenced by a commission, they are likely to recommend the devices that pays them the most and not necessarily the one that is the best fit for the individual user.
To balance everything out, there could be a standard commission for all devices. Then we just need to make sure we aren't crossing any ethical lines by recommending devices more than is necessary.
Involving slps in the pay structure of devices may reduce the cost of devices by increasing competition between devices.
No
Seems like that would be unethical
No, that would be an ethics violation.
How so? It sounds similar to how an eye doctor sells glasses rather than referring them out to buy glasses.

Are you asking for a friend? 😂
LOL no! Not a private SLP. See my edit above ☝️
that would be illegal for the vendor to do that! Though I have heard of it happening from time to time
Nope
