Create your own AT Starter Kit with an array of single- and multi-message devices, including the GoTalks! These easy-to-use, amazing tools are perfect for students to use! In the classroom, students can communicate wants/needs or show the teacher what they know in specific classes throughout the day. All devices can be easily programmed for multiple uses - morning and afternoon classes, home, community outings,etc. These devices offer excellent communication options for kids to improve receptive language skills. Use them as a reminder for items needed for particular sporting events or use them expressively to ask questions to teachers, peers, and employers. These tools can be paired with other communication devices or methods to support students with multi-modal communication needs.
Devices in the Single-Message category include our GoTalk One, GoTalk Button, GoTalk Duo, and Big Button. The GoTalk One is a single-message, AAC device that supports those with limited to no speech throughout their daily activities. The GoTalk Button is a magnetic, single-message, AAC device for recording up to 10 seconds; ideal for whiteboards and refrigerators! The GoTalk Duo is an easy-to-use, one- or two- message device with enhanced sound quality. It comes with keyguards for both message configurations!! Last in this category, the Big Button is an AAC device with a large activation space that requires minimal movement to push with up to three messages!!
If you're looking for a device that offers more messages, pick one from our Multi-Message category. The devices highlighted include the GoTalk Fit, GoTalk Go, StepPad, Big Button with Steps and Levels, and the GoTalk Select. The GoTalk Fit is a 4- or 9-message voice output device. It literally fits into your pocket and is easily accessible! The GoTalk Go is a wrist-sized, portable AAC device that has easier-to-use capacitive touch buttons to activate messages. Program 1, 2, or 3 messages on each of three levels for a total capacity of nine messages! The StepPad is an AAC support tool that is ideal for sequencing and task analytic instruction! It records up to four activities with two levels and 30 steps each. if you'd like more message options than what the Big Button offers in our Single-Message category, try our Big Button with Steps and Levels, which records up to three activities, each with 10, six-second steps and records up to 10 distinct message levels which stay consistent across activities. The GoTalk Select rounds out this category as a small and rechargeable, 12-message, wearable AAC device for convenient communication support throughout the day. Ideal for students on the move, out in the community, and on the job!
The last category progresses to our most robust mid-tech devices - the GoTalk Lite Touches.

Students can use these devices to show teachers what they know, making it a great individual or classroom tool for communication about any subject. In the hospital, use a GoTalk to greet visitors, make comments or requests, ask questions, or discuss emotions. Choose the GoTalk 4+ Lite Touch for 22 messages, the 9+ Lite Touch for 48 messages, or the GoTalk 20+ Lite Touch for a total capacity of 105 messages!
