Cheap Talk 8 Scan
Scan through 8 changable messages!
Cheap Talk 8 has all the benefits of the Cheap Talk 4 series and it stores twice as many messages! This user friendly teaching tool is great for providing communication and cognitive support, as well as enhancing and developing expressive and receptive language skills. The Cheap Talk 8 allows you to record and rerecord eight 5-second messages as often as you'd like. Each 2" square has an easy- to-remove plastic protective cover to hold words and pictures. This allows the use of one or two switches to "scan" the eight different messages. A light illuminates sequentially under each message. When the illuminated message is selected the pre-recorded message will play-back. Features our new scan modes, with a choice of eight different scanning options, including audible scan. The scanning speed is adjustable to accommodate a range of different abilities. Accepts both 1/4" and 1/8" plugs.

PLAY Tip
Bringing Two Hands Together In The Midline
Look for toys that offer many grasping points like the Nobbly Wobbly, the Winkle, or the Skwish. Place the child on his or her back. Offer the toy to the side of the child, moving the toy slowly towards the child's midline. Alternate sides, concentrating on the weaker side if there is one. Gradually the child will begin reaching out with both hands. This is especially helpful for premature babies, children with hypotonia, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy , and general developmental delays.
