He currently works in a community based teaching program in a public high school where his students are constantly interacting with the general population. As a teacher, Ian saw there was a need for his students to have a communication device that would be very basic, affordable, and easily transported. With this type of device, his students would be able to interact in community settings such as malls, grocery stores, hospitals, etc., with very little outside assistance.
