Promote functional communication! Promote functional communication!
Our two switch communicator has built-in visuals in form of the colored buttons and
mirror to assist and encourage production of utterances followed by auditory
feedback to raise self-awareness. The red button allows the user to record 4
messages up to 5 seconds each and a green switch for playback of messages. This
provides auditory feedback and promotes functional communication with intent,
encompassing language structure and/or articulation. Size: 8"L x 12"W x 12½"H.
