Special Supplies AAC Communication Device for Speech Therapy, Talker Buddy Communication Device for Non Verbal Kids & Adults, Talking Aids for Home or School + Travel Bag (Talker Buddy)

My grandson is non verbal and this device helps him communicate what he wants and needs. It’s a great stater device for children with autism. It took my grandson a little getting use to using the device. It was easy to use with no setup required. Would recommend. Value for the money is great!

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!! :)

This isn’t exactly the kind of product I ever hoped to need, but when my mom had a stroke that left her unable to communicate, I bought this device along with some cards featuring pictures and words. Honestly, I was shocked the stroke unit at her hospital didn’t already have something like this on hand — but hey, that’s the American healthcare system for you! Long story short, my mom is doing much better now — talking, walking, and no longer needing this device. However, during the tough time we did use it, I was grateful for it. The prompts could be a bit more mature (they lean a little kiddo-oriented), but in a pinch, it was far better than nothing. It did the job when we needed it most.

I have non-verbal twin sons that just turned 4 years old recently and they have hardly ever spoken and any few words that they may have actually tried to make were baby talk basically. I've had to watch their body language and behaviors to determine what they want and I could tell they could understand me, but they never really had any verbal communication at all, whatsoever. Immediately after handing them these they started communicating with me and with each other. I thought maybe I was imagining it at first, but I started asking them questions and they started answering me! It's been several hours now and I am convinced that they are using these to talk to me and with each other. This is the first back and forth communication I have ever had with him for their entire lives. I cannot even begin to describe what I'm feeling right now. One of them keeps reaching for my phone as I typed this review and I keep pulling the phone away and he turned around and found one of these on the ground and walked up to me and started pressing "please". I was having doubts that these kids would ever be able to answer a question and they did today. Every question I asked basically. I don't care if they ever speak, I am so relieved to know they can communicate.

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 him If your loved one or anyone you know loose there speech absolute buy this and you wont regret it !!!! Absolute game changer for stroke patients!!!

Very educational for children easy learning

Great little device for non-verbal autistic children to get acclimated to a traditional aac device. It has simple buttons and not overrun with excessive buttons.

Great Product for the price. We do wish the phrases could be changed. Also wish the No was Red and Yes was Green. But other than that it seems like a great starter device for AAC.

This has been a really great communicator for my non- verbal grandson

As a caregiver for a non-verbal adult, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can improve communication and quality of life. The Talker Buddy Communication device has been a game-changer in this regard. The device is designed with simplicity in mind, making it easy for non-verbal adults to navigate and express themselves. Overall, I highly recommend the Talker Buddy communication device to anyone looking to enhance communication with non-verbal adults. It's a user-friendly tool that has made a significant difference in our lives.

O produto é ótimo, só que é somente no idioma inglês e se fosse português me ajudaria muito nas terapias

Great product. We bought this to try for our 6 year old non verbal son. It's a great starter device. It has the basics for his communication needs right now and is getting him used to using a device for culminating later.

Says programmable but it isn’t. You can’t change the prerecorded phrases. My son just needs the word said instead of a long sentence but it’s ok for now.
