Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Use with or without switches!
Popular Cheap Talk units are lightweight, portable, user-friendly and economical communicators which allow the user to "speak" phrases that you pre-record. Use them to provide communication and cognitive support, enhance and develop expressive and receptive language skills. Each 2" square has an easy to remove, plastic protective cover to hold words and pictures. Messages can be up to 5 seconds each and be recorded as often as you wish. Activate the communicator by pressing one of the four squares or by plugging in external switches (with 1/8" jacks) into the four jacks on the rear.

Adapted Art: Painting with Crayon Brix
Crayon Brix can be painted with if dipped in water or used dry like a pastel.
The shape provides a change and a new challenge for budding artists.
If your child has trouble with traditional cylindrical crayons - these may be easier to handle. They are excellent quality with strong true colour. Of course they are nontoxic, although kids should not snack on them! They are not washable so you don't want them used on the walls. And do use a smock!
