Switch Skills 1
Est. $40–$90
Switch Skills 1 is a Windows program of simple games that teach a learner to press a switch at the right moment. In Racing Cars, Gorilla, Soccer Shoot and Catch the Crocs, the press has to match what's on screen. Monster House gives an early taste of scanning. The graphics are bright and the activities give audio feedback, so it can suit learners with low vision. It tracks performance and lets you raise the difficulty as skills grow, which makes it a good next step for someone who already presses a switch and is ready to work on timing and control. You'll need a switch that connects to your computer. An OT, SLP or teacher can help choose the right switch, placement and difficulty settings.

Provox SolaTone Plus Electrolarynx
$678.01
The Provox SolaTone Plus is a handheld electrolarynx, a battery-powered device that makes a voice for someone who can't speak with their own larynx.

It has two modes, one for monotone and one for variable pitch, and neither needs tools to set. The hourglass-shaped body is made to be comfortable to hold. It comes with a rechargeable battery, a micro-USB charging cord, a lanyard, an oral adapter and oral tubes, so you have what you need to start. A speech-language pathologist can help with learning where and how to place it for the clearest speech.

Because it can be personalized to fit different needs, it works for a wide range of communicators.

Accessible Literacy Learning (ALL)
Est. $149–$499

It runs on Windows and iOS, and on Tobii Dynavox I-Series and I-110 devices. A teacher, SLP, or AT specialist will likely get the best results by choosing the right access method and guiding how the program is used.

Prop-it Speech Therapists Tool Kit
$39.95
This kit gives a traveling speech therapist a portable work surface for sessions held in clients' homes or schools. It includes a collapsible free-standing stand, a non-breakable mirror with a magnet on the back, a magnetic board with a dry-erase surface, a non-toxic marker, and a felt eraser, all packed in a zip-closing clear vinyl bag. The stand folds flat to about 8 1/2 x 11 inches, so it fits easily in a work bag. The board and mirror each measure about 6 3/4 x 10 3/4 inches. It is a set of therapy tools, not a program or curriculum, so the activities and goals come from the clinician using it.

This is a clear, wipe-clean communication board that holds your own custom symbols or Talking Pockets, so you can build a simple, low-tech way to communicate that fits one person. It comes in three sizes and is made to be carried, which suits use at school, in the community, or around the house. It doesn't come with symbols or vocabulary on it. You'll need to choose and make the content yourself, and that's where it helps to have an SLP or AAC specialist weigh in.

Grid for iPad is an AAC app, which means it helps someone who can't rely on speech to communicate by speaking for them from the iPad.

You get a library of resources included. It runs on an iPad, so you'll need one, and picking a vocabulary layout and setting it up for the person's needs goes more smoothly with input from a speech-language pathologist.

Servox Digital XL, Electro Larynx Speech Aid
$1,199.00
The Servox Digital XL is a handheld electrolarynx. You hold it against the neck, or use a mouth tube adapter, and it makes a buzzing tone that you shape into speech with your mouth.

It runs on AAA batteries, rechargeable NiMH ones are included, and a belt pouch with room for a spare set is part of the kit. Two screw caps let you adjust the sound, and several mouth tube adapters are included. Learning to get clear speech from any electrolarynx takes practice, so a speech-language pathologist can help with placement and technique.

Provox TruTone Plus Electrolarynx
$1,062.16
The Provox TruTone Plus is a handheld electrolarynx, a battery-powered device that makes a buzzing tone you hold against the neck or use with an oral tube, so someone without a working voice box can speak. A single pressure-sensitive button lets you change pitch as you press, which gives speech more natural rise and fall. You can choose masculine or feminine voicing, adjust the pitch, and set it to a steady monotone or variable pitch without tools. The hourglass-shaped body is built for a comfortable grip, and the kit includes a rechargeable lithium battery, a micro-USB charging cord, a lanyard, an oral adapter, and oral tubes. Learning where to place it and how to shape clear speech with it goes much better with a speech-language pathologist's help.

GoTalk Select
$249.00
The GoTalk Select is a small, rechargeable communication device that speaks recorded messages when someone presses a button. It has four message buttons on each of three levels, so you can store up to 12 messages, and you can choose to use 1, 2, 3 or 4 buttons per level. It's light enough to wear on a lanyard, clip to clothing, or slip into a pocket, which suits classrooms, outings and busy days. Twelve messages go quickly, so it works best for a core set of everyday phrases, and picking which ones to record is easier with input from an SLP.

Mountain Precision Manufacturing NuVois III Digital Speech Aid
$530.00
The NuVois III is a handheld electrolarynx, a device that makes a voice for people who can't produce one with their vocal cords. It has volume and pitch buttons, so the sound can rise and fall for emphasis instead of staying flat. Two on/off buttons can each be set to their own volume, so you can use a quieter setting for close conversation and a louder one in a noisy room. At 4.5 oz with batteries, it is easy to carry. The kit includes two rechargeable 9V NiMH batteries, a charger, an oral adapter with tubes, and a use and care guide. Learning to place it well and shape speech with it usually goes better with speech therapy support.

Go Talk 20 Plus Lite Touch
$369.00
The GoTalk 20+ Lite Touch is a dedicated talking communication board. You record your own messages, and the person using it presses a spot on the board to play one back. It has volume control, sequential recording, quick erasing of a level, and built-in storage for overlays. Record lock and level lock help keep messages from being changed by accident. It's meant for everyday talking, like joining class activities, chatting with peers, sharing personal stories, practicing speech, giving instructions, and communicating during medical care. Because the messages are ones you record, someone needs to plan what goes on each level and how it's laid out. That's where a speech-language pathologist can help.

GoTalk 9+ Lite Touch
$339.00
The GoTalk 9+ Lite Touch is a dedicated talking device with nine message keys. You record your own voice messages onto the keys, and each press plays one back. It holds up to 45 messages across five recording levels, with about nine minutes of total recording time, and its keys respond to a much lighter touch than standard GoTalk models, which helps someone with a gentle or limited press. People can use it to start conversations, make requests, answer questions in class, or greet visitors in a hospital room. It has volume control, a record lock and a level lock, and it stores its overlays inside the device. Because every message is recorded by someone, the vocabulary only works as well as it is planned, so it helps to have a speech-language pathologist or teacher decide what goes on each level.

Solo Range
Est. $80–$350
The Solo Range is a family of small Bluetooth access devices that includes switches, a joystick and touch controls. They let someone operate a tablet or computer wirelessly when a standard touchscreen, mouse or keyboard is hard to use. The range works with Android, iOS, Mac and Windows devices. Because the range offers several different input styles, the main task is matching the right one to how the person moves and what they need to do on the device. Choosing the right piece and setting it up usually goes better with an OT, SLP or ATP.

Choosing the right model, app, vocabulary, and way to access it is a big decision, so an evaluation with a speech-language pathologist helps.

GoTalk Everywhere
$50.00
GoTalk Everywhere is an AAC app, which means it gives someone a way to communicate through tapping buttons that speak or play recordings. It runs on iOS, Android, and the web, and it syncs communication pages across devices through the cloud. A therapist, teacher, or family member can build pages on the web and send them straight to the person who will use them. You get the basics: text-to-speech, voice recording, symbols, your own photos, and grid layouts from 1 up to 30 buttons per page. It's a good fit for someone who needs a simple, adjustable way to start communicating. The best results usually come from a speech-language pathologist helping choose the vocabulary and page layouts.

Talk Pad
Est. $1,500–$4,000
The Talk Pad is a dedicated communication device that speaks for someone who can't rely on natural speech. It comes in an 8-inch or 10-inch size and can be provided with Grid AAC software, which lets a person build messages from symbols and text.

It's built to go places, with a tactile handle, a carry strap, wheelchair mounting, large blue power and volume buttons, a 1m drop-test rating, and IP22 protection. Because the right size, access method, and vocabulary setup vary a lot from person to person, it helps to have a speech-language pathologist or AAC specialist involved.

Dialogue AAC
$99.99
Dialogue AAC is an app for iPad and iPhone that lets adults who can read and spell communicate through a keyboard layout, with word prediction and quick phrases to speed things up. It is built for literate people who have trouble using their natural voice. It also includes the Essence vocabulary system, offered in 60-location and 84-location layouts to suit different visual and motor abilities. This is an app, not a device, so you'll need a compatible iPad or iPhone, and a speech-language pathologist can help match the layout and settings to the person.

Provox TruTone EMOTE Electrolarynx
$1,413.12
The Provox TruTone EMOTE is a handheld electrolarynx. You hold it against your neck, or use the included oral adapter and tubes, and it produces a voice that you shape into speech. One pressure-sensitive button controls the sound, so pressing harder or softer changes the pitch for more natural expression. You can choose masculine or feminine voicing and adjust the pitch, and six modes cover steady or varying pitch. A Whisper mode lets you drop to a softer volume with one touch. It recharges through a built-in USB port, and the box includes the charging cord, rechargeable battery, lanyard, and a spare head cap. It's a complete device, but a speech-language pathologist can help you pick the right placement and settings.

it-Switch Starter Pack
Est. $60–$130
The it-Switch Starter Pack gives you a wireless switch and a USB receiver, so someone can trigger a computer with one easy press instead of a keyboard or mouse. The switch has a low, slanted shape with no base, so it works from many positions and takes very little effort to press. The receiver plugs into a Windows or Mac computer and can link up to six switches, with a range of up to 10 metres. The pack's size and color options aren't clear here: the switch comes in small (75mm) and large (125mm) sizes and in red, blue, green or yellow, so check which one is in the box before ordering. The switch only does something once it's paired with software or an activity that accepts switch input, so matching it to the person and the task is where an OT or SLP helps most.

iSwitch50
Est. $100–$250
The iSwitch50 is a 50 mm Bluetooth switch that lets someone operate a tablet, phone, or AAC (communication) device with a single press instead of using a touchscreen. It works with iOS and Android devices, and it offers 24 programmable functions, so the press can be set up to do different jobs depending on the person and the app. It's a good fit for someone who can't reliably touch a screen but can press a larger target. This is a piece of a larger setup, not a complete solution on its own. You'll need a compatible device, and the switch has to be paired with it and programmed. Choosing the right function and positioning the switch where the person can press it comfortably usually goes better with help from an OT, SLP, or ATP.

Wedge Cup - Clear with Red Lid
$59.95
The Wedge Cup is a drinking cup with a clear body and a red lid. It lets someone drink without tipping their head back, which helps people who have trouble swallowing or can't tilt their neck far. A flow control on the cup adjusts how fast liquid comes out, from a normal flow down to a much slower trickle, so the drinker can sip at their own pace. It is meant for situations like weak tongue or mouth muscles, limited neck movement, or a higher risk of choking when the head tips back. Because swallowing problems vary a lot, the right flow setting is best chosen with a speech-language pathologist.

Ultimate Switchbox
Est. $150–$350
The Ultimate Switchbox is a USB switch interface that lets up to six switches control a computer as if they were keyboard keys, mouse buttons, or gamepad buttons. Each socket can be set to a single key, a modifier like Shift or Control, a mouse click or cursor move, or a short macro of up to four keystrokes. Settings are spread across four levels, so one set of switches can do different jobs, and a seventh socket or an onboard button changes levels. It works without extra software and comes with default settings that often need no changes. This is the interface only, so you'll need your own switches and a computer, and finding the right mapping for a particular user is where an ATP, OT, or SLP helps most.

Snap Switch Caps let you attach pictures or symbols to each device, and the included cables let you connect them to toys and appliances for play and cause-and-effect activities. It's a good fit for a child or adult who needs simple ways to make requests or take part in activities, but a speech-language pathologist or other AT professional can help decide which device suits the person and what to record.
