Special Supplies AAC Communication Device for Speech Therapy, Talker Buddy Communication Device for Non Verbal Kids & Adults, Autism Talking Aids for Home or School, Communication Device W/Travel Bag

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bought this for my level three Autistic grandson who wasn’t verbal at the time. He is much better now and still uses this as a toy now but will probably use with the new grand baby to help learn to talk

We simple love this communication device.

This machine was bought for a non verbal boy with autism. He uses it to speak for him and according to his parents he has actually copied the remote and said a few words. That was amazing to hear. This gadget did something that wasn’t expected and the family was truly greatful.

Very good battery life, over a year later and haven’t needed to change it. It’s not too loud or soft and great for communication. It’s very soft as well.

I have a teenaged stepson who has Autism, and is completely nonverbal. I got him this for Christmas, as he’s never taken to any of the speech apps on his tablet. He LOVES this! Although we are still learning to use it for specific needs, the buttons are fun for him- he loves that it makes noise, and everything is said very clearly through the device. Good sturdy quality, functions just as would expect, and super easy/simple! We LOVE it!! :)

I got this hoping it would be a good tool for some of my students, but's it's really not appropriate for an emerging communicator. The messages are way to long like "I'm feeling happy" "I'm feeling hungry" "I'd like to listen to music." When working with emerging communicators, therapists need to focus on concise messages "happy" "eat" "music." I'd consider using this more if the messages were even a bit shorter like "I'm happy" "I want to eat" "I want music". It feels like this was developed without consulting a speech therapist.

Exactly as described

With my disabled daughter she uses them religiously and they're working great
