Something they could wear on their body (maybe around their neck), that is long shaped with strings, which when strummed or stroked with a light aetheric charge, giving off sounds that can be played together to create speech.This sounds like an awesome concept as I keep picturing in my head her "voice" coming across as music with this device.
If your friend really is wanting to be completely mute without any aids then one suggestion I might make is to pair her up with someone who can be there to initiate contact and help be her voice by offering to "translate" after time once your friend develops more contacts and people learn to translate her attempts to communicate this can be slowly scaled down.
