AAC Device for Autism & Speech Therapy. Non Verbal Communication Tools for Kids & Adults. Programmable AAC Communication Device. Alternative to Autism Communication Cards & PECS Cards for Autism

Ingenious product! It’s a great tool for non verbal kids. It’s simple and worth more than it costs. Thank you for making this!!

As a speech-language pathologist, I was excited to see a basic AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) device available at a price point the is within reach for many people. This little device is about the size of a television remote control and includes 14 pre-programmed buttons and two that you can program yourself. This will of course not meet most people's communication needs in the long run, but it can be helpful in some situations--for example, as a way to try out a high-tech device, for someone who is in the early stages of learning to communicate with a device, for someone who only needs a device for a short time, or as a backup means of communication. The buttons are relatively easy to activate with a single finger push. I like that the pre-programmed buttons play full sentences (e.g., "I want to watch TV"). The volume is sufficiently loud without being too loud. It is worth noting that the voice sounds like a woman, which might suggest that the device is meant for adults. However, there is also a button that says, "I want to play with toys," which would generally be more appropriate for children. Also, the accent is British, which is worth considering if that would make a difference for your intended user. This device runs on 3 AAA batteries. I have not yet had to replace them, so I am not sure how quickly the device drains them. The device seems pretty sturdy, like it could stand a few accidental drops. That said, I would hesitate to give it to someone who has a habit of throwing or otherwise damaging objects. Overall, this is a nice little basic AAC device.

Very nice, but accent was just a tiny bit off. Other than that, very helpful little device

Non verbal Great Grandson uses it and Mom says it's a great help and her son loves using it!

Perfect for an on the go AAC device. There’s 2 blank spots for you to record yourself which my son loved.

This mini-AAC is a great way to introduce your speech delayed child to AAC devices. It has a couple of features that I don’t like. 1. The speaker has an English accent and you can’t change it. If you’re buying this for an adult, that’s not a big deal. But if you are buying this for a speech delayed child, this can confuse them. 2. There is no volume control and it’s pretty loud. My kid didn’t want to use it for a few weeks because it set off his sound sensitivity. 3. My toddler accidentally re-records the personalized buttons all the time because there is no way to lock them from being edited.

Wow, I can't believe how inexpensive this device is, I ended up buying four. I'm a teacher and have several non-verbal students, I talked to their teacher and she said they could all learn to use this device...it could give them a voice and reduce their frustration. Now for the funny part, I had one student in mind and he never spoke last year...Friday he walked in and said "Good Morning". It was the first time I'd ever heard him speak, and now he is speaking quite often...but it is ok because we have at least three other kids who might be able to use the device.

The sound quality was poor and fuzzy. That, combined with the fact that the voice was British, made it very difficult for my son to understand what each button meant. Aldo, it was obnoxiously loud with no option to reduce the volume. So, we're returning it for something else.
