Talkable Communication Devices for Those With Speech Impairments

Adults and children who have minor or major speech impairments need a fun way to develop their ability to speak at a comfortable pace. That’s why we designed the acclaimed Talkables for those with speech-impairment.

To help you select the most suitable device for your loved one, here are some facts you should know about Talkable.

What Are Talkables?

Talkable are intuitive augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices that help people living with impaired speech communicate. Essentially, they’re visual message communicators that help users “speak” messages recorded by others, and receive both tactile and auditory feedback. They have large colored button switches and icon holders that allow the user, teacher or parent to add and remove pictures to give visual cues.

How Do Talkable AAC Communicators Work?

Talkable allows a user, therapist or caregiver to record messages. Then, in order to play them back, the person using the device just needs to press a button or activate a switch. Messages can be re-recorded at any time. The Talkable also have a place to put your picture icons and output jacks that are used to activate other devices. The jacks permit the user to activate a toy or any other compatible adapted device for immediate reinforcement.

Textured tops are also available to add a more rewarding tactile feedback to the user. You can also create icons with an icon creation software. This application contains pre-installed color icons and templates for making your own icons.
