It is designed for children and adults with autism and is also described for people with apraxia, aphasia or other speech challenges.

Practical tips

Use the colour-coded phrase buttons for familiar daily communication, such as expressing a need, sharing an emotion or taking part in a routine. For messages that are specific to the person, record personal phrases on the six programmable buttons, family members or therapists can contribute voices that are familiar to the user. This pairing of ready-made phrases and personal recordings offers a practical alternative to relying only on picture charts, PECS cards or a communication board.

For a typical day, the device can move between home, school or therapy sessions, with volume adjusted to suit the setting. Keeping key phrases and personal messages consistent across those environments can make the buttons easier to recognize and use as part of familiar routines. The device requires 2 AAA batteries, so have the required batteries available for use.

Who it’s for

This communication aid is intended for children and adults who benefit from spoken phrase options, including people with autism and individuals with other speech challenges. It can support everyday communication at home, in a classroom or during speech therapy, and its recorded-message buttons allow caregivers or therapists to include words and voices tailored to the person. The 28 pre-set phrases provide a starting point, while the six personal buttons help bring individual needs and routines into the same device.

When it makes sense

Choose this format when a portable talking aid with both ready-made phrases and custom recordings suits the communication routine. Compared with paper-based cards or picture charts, it offers spoken phrases and adjustable volume in a single device, those visual tools may still suit people who prefer picture-based communication. For a family, educator or therapist supporting a non-verbal communicator, the combination of colour-coded choices, personal voice recordings and adjustable sound offers a practical way to make common messages available across everyday settings.
