Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The buttons are simple to press, but someone has to break each task into short, clear steps and record them before the device is useful. A family member or caregiver can do this in about half an hour with the instructions. A professional is not needed to get started, though a therapist can help plan the steps.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The StepPad is a small recorder that plays back spoken directions one step at a time, so someone can get through a multi-step task such as a morning routine without help. You record each step in your own voice, then the user presses Next to hear the next step, Play to hear it again, or Back to review an earlier one. It holds four activities at two levels, with up to 30 steps in each, and any single step can be re-recorded or a new one inserted without disturbing the rest. You can also lock it to one activity so the user doesn't get lost or change the recordings by accident. It's a good fit for someone who loses their place in a sequence or needs prompting to finish a task on their own, and it can serve as a short-term teaching tool or a long-term aid. It's small enough to carry in a hand or purse, with built-in lanyard loops and a belt loop slot.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Press an activity button, then press Next to hear recorded steps one at a time. Once recordings are in place, the user can operate it right away.
  • With a guide
    1. Record the steps for each activity in your own voice, up to 30 steps per activity. Re-record any step if you make a mistake.
    2. Slide in a label overlay on the activity buttons so the user can tell the activities apart.
    3. Decide whether to lock the device to a single activity so the user can't change levels or recordings by accident. Plan on about 30 minutes to write and record your first sequence. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
