Kris Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Electronic Speech Aids The following site has a range of communication devices for people with little or no speech. I believe this system is used in some special schools. Costs range from �25 + vat to several thousands of pounds. Their best seller is a talking photo album cost �25 + vat. This album takes pictures and you can record 10 seconds of speech for each of the 24 pages. http://www.liberator.co.uk/liberator/frsHome.asp?page=home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewpowell Report post Posted July 19, 2005 Apologies if this is old news. I am just getting used to using this fantastic resource!! and have not looked at all the postings... One parent recently told me she had found Step pad very useful. It is about �20 plus p and p. It fits in palm of hand and you can record sequences of actions that your child might need to follow. It saves a lot of time with constantly answering repetitive questions (that's the theory!). You can record WE'RE GOING TO SHOPS, then AFTER SHOPS WE'RE GOING TO GO TO GET PETROL, then AFTER PETROL WE WILL GO TO GRAN'S FOR LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR , then AFTER GRAN'S WE'LL COME HOME AGAIN. Your son or daughter can hang on the Step Pad and play back the steps as a memory reinforcer and reassurance. It can also be used to just record things you need to remember like a handy dictaphone but simpler to use. It records about 72 second worth of speech. alison@liberator.co.uk for more details Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
