Professional guidance helps The buttons are simple to charge and record, so a family member can get them working. How well they help depends on choosing the right messages, symbols, and layout for the person. A speech-language pathologist or AT professional can make a big difference in how well the person learns to use them.

What it is

Summary

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

BIG TalkingBrix is a set of three single-message speech buttons. Pressing the large colored top plays a recorded message up to 10 seconds long. You can use each button on its own, or connect them to build a multi-message device for making choices. Because each button holds a different message, they work well placed around a classroom or home, or shared so several people each have their own message. A clear snap cover holds a picture symbol or photo so the user can see what the button says. Symbol overlays aren't included, but AbleNet offers a free iPad app for making them. The rechargeable battery and drop-resistant build suit busy settings.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Charge the built-in battery, then press a button's large top to hear its recorded message.
  • With a guide
    1. Record a message on each button, then add picture symbols or photos under the clear snap cover. Make the symbols with AbleNet's free iPad overlay app or your own printouts.
    2. To build a choice-making device, connect the buttons together. Plan about 30 minutes to try out placement and messages. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    A speech-language pathologist or AT professional can help pick which messages to record, how to lay out the buttons, and how to teach their use. Plan one or more sessions.
