Antoinette,

 

Thank you- I will look into it. I would like something that she could push in an emergency situation should she need to call 911.

Erin,

 

Is voice output a big criteria?  If not, I would look at something like the Speakbook - www.speakbook.org or a laser pointer with boards - http://lowtechsolutions.org/index.html

 

These are VERY low cost options and are much more flexible and easy to adapt for those who are not interested in high tech options.

Hey everyone,

 

I am looking to see what everyoneâs opinion is on the best low-tech static device. I have a patient who has pretty significant cognitive deficits and after multiple attempts of evaluating her for a high tech device I am realizing sheâd do best with something simple and very functional. I could probably train her at the most on 20 buttons so I suggested to her husband the GoTalk  20 button but if someone has a better suggestion Iâd love to hear it.

 

The GoTalk 20 is about 200-260.00$ If you have cheaper suggestions Iâll take âem! Thanks!
