Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Scan through 8 changable messages!
Cheap Talk 8 has all the benefits of the Cheap Talk 4 series and it stores twice as many messages! This user friendly teaching tool is great for providing communication and cognitive support, as well as enhancing and developing expressive and receptive language skills. The Cheap Talk 8 allows you to record and rerecord eight 5-second messages as often as you'd like. Each 2" square has an easy- to-remove plastic protective cover to hold words and pictures. This allows the use of one or two switches to "scan" the eight different messages. A light illuminates sequentially under each message. When the illuminated message is selected the pre-recorded message will play-back. Features our new scan modes, with a choice of eight different scanning options, including audible scan. The scanning speed is adjustable to accommodate a range of different abilities. Accepts both 1/4" and 1/8" plugs.

Assentive Computer Technology - Infrared Head Pointing
The Tracker and the Smart Nav AT can be helpful for users with carpal-tunnel syndrome, severe arthritis, quadriplegia, ALS, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis.
Head pointing should be considered for computer users who have good head control and poor (or no) fine motor skills in their hands. Pointing is the quickest, most direct way of controlling the computer. Many people with disabilities have been forced to use scanning, mouth sticks, and other alternative devices when all they really needed to do was somehow point.
One 'point' to remember when considering this kind of alternative mouse: you can use your head, but you don't really have to. You may use any body part that has reliable movement and control, like an arm or a knee, to place the dot upon. Also, you may use a hat, a headband, or a sweatband to hold the dot if you do not want to place the dot directly upon the skin.
