Boardmaker 7 Student Center
Est. $99–$499
Student Center is the app a learner opens to do Boardmaker 7 activities that a teacher, therapist, or parent has assigned. Those activities show up in the learner's account on their own. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Chromebook computers, iPads, and Tobii Dynavox devices, and it works with or without an internet connection. Access settings for eye gaze, switch, mouse, and touch can be saved to the learner's login, so the right setup is ready each time. The app comes with any Boardmaker 7 Subscription, so you need that subscription before it's useful. The subscription tier decides whether you can assign material and track progress.

Accessible Literacy Learning (ALL)
Est. $149–$499
The ALL Reading Program teaches basic reading skills to students who are nonverbal and use AAC (augmentative and alternative communication). Students can work through the lessons by touch, eye gaze, or scanning, so the program can follow whichever access method works best for them. 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.

Activity Wall Panels
$72.95
These solid wooden wall panels give kids hands-on activities to do while standing or sitting at a wall in a play room, classroom, or therapy center. You choose the Frog, Horse, or Zebra, or get all three as a set. The Frog has an abacus with five rows of 10 colorful beads for counting and color learning. The Horse has a bead maze, a launch lever, and a four-cog system that work on hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. The Zebra has eight geometric shapes. Panels are made to be mounted on a wall, so plan for a spot where they can be fixed in place.

Anybook Audio Pen AAC Device
$93.50
The Anybook Audio Pen is a pen-shaped voice output device that lets you attach recorded sound to books, worksheets, and objects. You stick a sticker on whatever you want to label, then touch the sticker with the pen to record a message or play it back. It holds about 200 hours of recordings, so a family or classroom can build up a lot of labeled materials over time. It suits children and adults who benefit from hearing spoken language tied to the things they see and handle. The recordings are only as good as the ones you make, so someone needs to take the time to record and place the stickers.

Multi-Memo Voice Recorder
Est. $25–$60
The Multi-Memo Recorder is a small, standalone voice recorder that holds up to 60 short messages, with about 6 minutes of recording time in total. You step through the saved messages with skip forward and skip backward buttons, and you can delete a single message without touching the others. A lock switch protects recordings from being erased by accident. It suits speaking and listening activities, such as practicing pace and tone, recording clues for a treasure hunt, or noting thoughts about a story. At roughly 80mm by 15mm, it's easy to carry between settings. The 6-minute limit is shared across all messages, so it works best for brief recordings.

Portable Choice/Display Board
Est. $30–$80
This foldable board has a nylon loop fabric surface on both sides, so you can stick on pictures, flashcards, or paper with the hook dots and show someone their options at a glance. It comes with 25 self-adhesive hook dots, and each side has a large center panel (about 60 x 40cm) with a smaller panel on either side, giving six usable surfaces in all. That layout works well for offering choices, showing a schedule or sequence, or switching activities partway through a session. The inner board is plastic and wipes clean, and it folds flat to carry between classroom, therapy, and home. The board holds the materials but doesn't supply any, so you'll need to make or gather the symbols and cards to put on it.

Recordable Cards
Est. $20–$60
These dry-wipe cards each hold a 10-second recorded message that plays back when you press the button on the front. You can re-record the audio whenever you like and write notes or instructions on the wipe-clean surface, which makes them handy for personalized prompts, reminders, practice activities, and simple games. They come in A4 and A6 sizes, and the batteries are included. Each card holds only one short message, so longer instructions need several cards.

Rhyming Pocket/Dice Cards
Est. $12–$25
This is a set of 50 double-sided cards, each showing a colorful picture with a clear printed word, made for practicing rhyming. They help learners build on what they know about letters and sounds and strengthen early reading skills. The cards are 11cm x 11cm, wipe clean, and come in a zip-top bag. You can use them on their own for simple matching and sorting games. They also work with the Touch and Talk or foam dice for extra game ideas, but those are sold separately.

Sound Bank Plus
Est. $25–$60
The Sound Bank Plus - Mirror records up to 30 seconds of sound and plays it back when pressed, with a mirror on its face so a child can watch themselves while they listen or speak. A snap-on clear cover holds a picture or symbol, so the same unit can serve as a phonics cue, a labeled choice, or part of a science display. You can pick one of three volume levels for a loud classroom or a quiet room, and a lock button keeps a recording from being erased by accident. It measures about 12 cm square and about 2 cm thick. It mounts on a wall with the built-in slot, or sticks to metal surfaces with its built-in magnets. It holds one message at a time, so it suits simple activities rather than conversation.

Talking Treasure Hunt
Est. $35–$75
Talking Treasure Hunt is a set of flash cards you can record your own voice onto, so each card can speak a clue, a question, or a word in any language. It comes with a Flash Card Reader and 18 cards, split between Treasure and Mini Beast themes. You can use it to build interactive treasure hunts and learning games for a child, with the clues matched to what they're working on. You'll need to record your own messages before it's useful, so plan a little prep time.

Tri-Fold Communication/Choice Board
Est. $25–$60
This tri-fold board stands on a tabletop and gives you six loop-fabric surfaces for displaying symbols, photos, flashcards, or schedules. Items stick on with hook coins (25 are included), so you can swap choices in and out as needs change, and rotating the board makes it easy to move from one activity to the next. It folds flat for storage or travel and closes with a hook-and-loop strap. It's a blank display, though: picture symbols aren't included, so you'll need to make or buy your own.

Rainbow Letters & Numbers
Est. $40–$120
These are letters and numbers cut from translucent 3mm acrylic in bright, glittery rainbow colors. They're made to be placed on a light panel, where the light shines through and makes the shapes glow. That makes them a good fit for sensory play and for learning letters and numbers through looking and touching. Each piece has a hole so it can also be hung up. They're only the shapes, so you'll need a light panel if you want the glowing effect.

Translucent Letters & Numbers
Est. $20–$60
This set gives you translucent acrylic letters, both capital and lowercase, plus the numbers 0-9, each with a raised edge. The raised edge gives fingers something to trace, and the see-through material lets light shine through, which is why the set is made for use on light panels. It suits early literacy and early number work with young children, especially those who benefit from a bright, high-contrast, hands-on way to explore letter and number shapes. A light panel is a separate purchase, so plan for that if you don't already have one.

Coloured Acrylic Pebbles
Est. $15–$40
This set of 30 acrylic pebbles comes in a mix of bright colors and sizes. Placed on a light panel or light board, they let a learner watch how light shines through different shapes and colors. They work for sorting by color, building patterns, and fine motor play, either alone or with others. The pebbles are small parts, so an adult needs to be there the whole time.

Discovery Ball Activity Set
Est. $25–$60
This set gives a child 9 pairs of textured, colorful balls and a soft feely bag to explore by touch and sight. The pairs invite matching and sorting games, and the set also works for color recognition, counting, pattern play, and early math ideas. Because the balls are about 5.5 cm across, they are easy to handle, and the bag lets a child reach in and find a match by feel alone. An activity guide with learning ideas in 8 languages is included. The balls are small parts, so an adult needs to supervise play.

Count & Match Eggs
Est. $15–$40
Count & Match Eggs is a set of twelve plastic eggs that each pull apart into two halves. Each egg has its own number and a matching peg-and-hole fit, so a child counts, sorts, and puts the right halves back together. The eggs have brightly colored centers, which add color matching and problem-solving to number practice. Pulling the eggs apart and snapping them shut also gives hands a workout in gripping and fine motor control. Everything stores in the included plastic egg carton (about 30 cm by 10 cm, with eggs about 4.5 cm across), so it is easy to carry between home and school.

This kit puts a set of light and vision toys in one carry bag. It includes mirrors, space blankets, glitter tubes, colour panels, eye scopes, a water block and a wooden magnifying glass. Each piece changes how something looks, whether through reflection, magnification or swirling colour, so a child can explore the effects hands-on. It suits sensory rooms, classrooms or home use for a child who learns through looking and touching. Contents may vary, and an adult needs to be involved during use.

InPrint 4
Yearly plan: ask the vendor
InPrint 4 is desktop software for making your own symbol-supported materials, such as visual timetables, communication boards, PECS cards, flashcards, supported books and signage. It includes over 21,000 Widgit Symbols, hundreds of editable templates, and layout tools like tables, frames and speech bubbles. You can also add your own photos, recolor symbols and change skin tones. Teachers, parents and other support staff use it to build materials for communication, behavior support or classroom access. It also comes with 100+ ready-made resource packs, including phonics and autism support. It is a tool for making materials, not a finished set of them, so the results depend on choosing the right symbols and supports for each person.

PODD Alternative Access (A4 Version)
Est. $150–$400
This is a set of templates and guides for building PODD communication books, which are paper-based AAC (communication) books, for people who can't point directly to pictures. It covers 22 book layouts for eye-gaze access, partner-assisted visual scanning, and combinations such as eye-gaze plus scanning or coded access. The pack includes an information file on access methods and vocabulary, a step-by-step construction file, Boardmaker templates, and demonstration videos, all on a USB drive. You supply the Boardmaker 6 software, which is needed to customise and print the templates, so this is a build-it-yourself resource and not a ready-made book. It is intended for professionals and families, and it is sold to UK customers only.

Inclusive Switch Skills Bundle
Est. $600–$1,200
This bundle pairs a Multi2 switch interface and Smoothie Switches with Switch Skills software titles that build core switch control and timing. The activities start with cause and effect and move toward early scanning, so a child can practice using a switch step by step. The listings differ on whether it includes three or four software titles, so confirm that before ordering. It's a ready-made practice kit, but it works best when a therapist or teacher helps match the switches and activities to the child.

SwitchIt! Dinosaurs Extra
Est. $35–$80
SwitchIt! Dinosaurs Extra is a Windows program of animated, sound-filled activities about dinosaurs, prehistoric animals and their habitats. A learner can build pictures and follow short stories, such as a mammoth rescuing its young or a fossil forming over time, using one or two switches, a mouse, a touch screen or a keyboard. It's aimed at switch users and early learners, and the activities encourage sequencing, prediction and language. It also comes with printable worksheets (dot-to-dots, matching, story sequencing, colouring) and braille worksheets meant for swell paper and a heat fuser. The braille sheets need that equipment to be useful, and you'll need a way to connect switches if that's how the learner will play.

SwitchIt! Farm Extra
Est. $40–$90
SwitchIt! Farm Extra is Windows software that uses farm scenes to teach cause and effect, early choice-making, and language. It has four activity types: five-step animated sequences of farm routines, picture-building with animated rewards, flash cards with spoken text, and a picture menu where a learner picks a scene from a list the teacher sets up. You can adjust the steps and the timing of rewards, and save settings for each learner. It works with one or two switches, a touch screen, a mouse, IntelliKeys or a Concept Keyboard. A bundle of printable worksheets and tactile braille worksheets is included, but the braille pages need swell paper and a heat fuser to print.

SwitchIt! People Extra
Est. $35–$80
SwitchIt! People Extra is a Windows program that teaches about people who help us, such as community helpers, through simple cause-and-effect activities. Learners can watch twelve five-step animations, build a scene and see it come to life, or flip through large themed flash cards. It works with one or two switches, a touch screen, a mouse, IntelliKeys or a Concept Keyboard, so it fits learners who can't use a standard keyboard. A picture menu lets non-readers pick activities on their own, and you can set the number of steps and how long the animated rewards last. Each learner can have saved preferences, and the package adds printable worksheets, including braille ones meant for swell paper.

It also comes with switch-activated picture builds, flashcards, and printable worksheets, including tactile braille sheets meant for swell paper and a heat fuser. You'll need a Windows computer, and a switch interface if the learner will use switches.
