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

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!! :)

4 Stars because I think it is a great option for some children. It's pretty basic. My son who is verbal, but non communicative just liked pushing all the buttons so we returned it. I have heard from others that have had success with it for their kiddos though so I would say try it if you are on the fence because you never know. It's like a very basic AAC device.

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

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.

My son absolutely loves this and it's adorable!

The media could not be loaded. Highly recommend this speech device. It’s great for quick access. My son prefers so use this handheld over his bulky everyday device. The volume and quality is great.

I bought this for my father inlaw when he had a stroke and it changed the way how he got treated in the hospital after he got his stroke the first day the doctor dont know how much damage the stroke caused so they treat the patient like if they have severe brain damage and once i realize he was mentally there but was fully paralizyed on one side of his body so he cant speak or use arm or leg on the right side of the body and at first i would tell him one finger for yes and two finger for no with his left hand and when i told the doctor i created a system to talk to him he looked at me like i was making shit up and he said to me his hands is doing some form of a muscle spasm.It really upset me so i went out and got him this device and a training ball i used the ball to train his finger and hand strength first and in two days he was able to click the button no problem.The yes and no button are on top which make it way easier to talk so when the doctor came back and he used the remote to communicate back with the doctor there was absolute no doubt in the doctor mind that he was there and they immediately started recovery treatment and every nurse and doctor that see him use this device asked me where i got it and how every stroke patient should have this device.It dose all the necessary question to get by to live more comfortable and not feel helpless for people who loose there voice!!!This absolute changed my father inlaw life and still helps him today and now hes in one the best rehab where i live because how easy it is for them to communicate with himIf your loved one or anyone you know loose there speech absolute buy this and you wont regret it !!!! Absolute game changer for stroke patients!!!
