    About Communication Devices for those with Disabilities

    Communication devices help to enhance communication and lift burdens associated with it for people who need assistance expressing themselves. Let’s find out how they work.

    For many people with disabilities, communication can be challenging. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices are designed to help users communicate without needing to rely on spoken language.

    Enabling Devices’ 7 Level Communication Builder eases communication by allowing users to play back recorded messages by pressing lightly on a touchpad.

    Benefits of Communication Devices

    Communication devices make speech possible for many people with diverse abilities. Progressive communication devices like this one allow users to develop communication skills, convey messages to others and interact with people from a distance.

    Even better, you can add vocabulary as communication skills and needs increase — our best-selling progressive communication builder grows along with you. Start with one message per level, and expand to sixteen on seven levels for a total of 112 messages.

    7 Level Devices Compared to Other Communication Devices

    Our seven level communicator can record and play back seven distinct sets of messages, so it can communicate a wide variety of ideas. The large number of messages gives users more options.

    This device provides increased message options by decreasing the amount of record time for each message as frame number goes up, making it a good option for communicating either short or long messages. This communicator also uses the same frame setting for each level, unlike our four level model.

    Who Are 7 Level Communication Devices Made For?

    Our seven level communication device is designed to generate speech for children and adults with complex communication needs. People who benefit from our device may be diagnosed with autism, cerebral palsy, ALS or down syndrome, among other conditions.

    Q What is the minimum force needed to activate a button?
    Asked by Anonymous user on April 18, 2018 2:16 pm
    A Between 20 and 25 grams of pressure. Keep in mind this is a membrane touch pad so when icon sheets are used in the communicator the thicker the paper or if you laminate the paper the more force will be needed to activate the message. We recommend standard weight printer paper and a light laminate for for the lightest touch activation.

    Q what's the difference between the 4-Level and 7-Level Communicators?
    Asked by Anonymous user on November 24, 2017 2:37 pm
    A The 4 Level Communicator has 4 levels, each level is a set of messages. It also has the 1,2,4,8 and 16 message frames. You can use different message frame for each level. (E.G.) you can use a four-window grid on level one and then go to level two and use a 16-window grid. Total record time for each message will be 4 seconds regardless of what window frame you have chosen. The 7 Level Communicator: You must use the same window setting for all seven levels. (E.G.) you cannot use a four-window grid on level one and then go to level two and use a 16-window grid. If you did when you went back to level one, your messages would not play back properly. This unit has a total record time of 300 seconds. The breakdown is as follows. Time per level by window setting.

    • 1 Window setting = 42 seconds per segment per level
    • 2 Window setting = 21 seconds per segment per level
    • 4 Window setting = 10.5 seconds per segment per level
    • 8 Window setting = 5.25 seconds per segment per level
    • 16 Window setting = 2.5 seconds per segment per level
