What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a low-tech communication display holder — a wipe-clean, durable frame that holds symbol cards or picture-based communication pages for face-to-face interaction. It's designed for people who use symbol-based AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) and need a portable, easy-to-clean way to carry and display their communication materials throughout the day. You get the physical carrier device only — you'll need to create or print your own communication symbols or purchase compatible Talking Pockets inserts separately; there's no built-in speech output. It comes in three sizes, so it's worth measuring your existing symbol pages before ordering to make sure the fit is right.

- Insert printed communication symbols or Talking Pockets cards into the device slots.
- Close or secure the device and it's ready to use for face-to-face communication.
- With professional help
- A speech-language pathologist (SLP) or AAC specialist should design the symbol layout and vocabulary appropriate to the user's communication needs.
- Expect 1–3 sessions to select vocabulary, organize pages, and train communication partners on how to use the device together with the user.
