We have used basic (less than $10) laser pointers with a clamp or clip of some sort to keep the button pressed on a hat or headband. DIY!

Hello,
There may have been a previous post about this, but does anyone know where to find the small (affordable) laser pointers that pALS can mount to glasses and/or a headband, etc. for use with a static communication board? I have a family that
is not going to go the route of SGD, but could benefit from this and can’t afford an expensive option.
I know the ones I can find that are designated for this seem to be about $130, but I’ve had people make their own in the past for much less money.
Thanks in advance!
Joanna
