4 Compartment Communicator with Lights & Sound
Introduce communication!
Compartmentalized communicators are fun, easy to use, and perfect for teaching language skills (classification, sequence, function, opposites and comparatives, to name a few). You use them by placing objects, pictures or words in each of the compartments. Then, by pressing down on the corresponding colored switch plate (in front of each compartment), a light and sound is produced when a choice made.

Concepts: Things that Go Together
Matching things that go together is a challenging cognitive skill for children with developmental delays to learn. It involves making a leap from, "this ball is the same as this ball", to "the ball and the bat go together". Things That Go Together uses clearly illustrated two piece puzzles to help children master this important developmental concept. The difficulty level can be adjusted by presenting either more or less options. For example: Does the fish go with the fishing rod or the tree? You can keep adding more choices to make the difficulty level match your child's level of learning.
