In a world driven by communication, expressing thoughts and emotions is a fundamental human right. For individuals facing speech and language challenges, augmentative communication devices serve as invaluable tools that open the doors to interaction, independence, and inclusion. Let’s explore what these devices are, their benefits, and how they empower individuals to live fuller lives.

What Are Augmentative Communication Devices?

Augmentative communication devices, also known as AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) devices, are tools designed to assist individuals who have difficulty with verbal communication. These devices range from simple picture boards to sophisticated electronic gadgets equipped with speech-generating capabilities. They cater to a wide array of users, including those with conditions such as:

• Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
• Cerebral palsy
• Stroke or traumatic brain injuries
• ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)
• Developmental delays or speech impairments

Talk About! Communicator

Finally, an affordable single communication button!

The Talk About! Communicator has many of the same desirable features as the more expensive devices:

• Record a message with your own voice
• 20 seconds of high quality recording time
• Retains the message even when the batteries are changed
• Easily change the message and re-record over and over again
• Rubber bumpers help prevent scooting or sliding. Use our Jelly Sticky Pad to help hold it in place even better.
• Optional switch jack version allows individuals to use their external switch (not included) to activate the message. Message can still be activated by pushing the button, making it useful for both switch users and non-switch users.

Base measures 3 1/2" and button activation surface measures 2 3/4".

Requires approximately 5 oz of pressure (moderate amount) if the user is directly touching the button to activate it. If the user can't apply much pressure or can't use their hands at all, then buy the version with the switch jack. This will allow a standard 3.5 mm switch (sold separately) to be plugged into the Talk About! Communicator to play the message.

Uses 2 AA batteries not included. Price is per communicator. Ages 3+

Use our Belt Clip, sold separately, to attach the Talk About! to clothing.
