T alkingMyW ay Communication Cards
The T alkingMyW ay Object Communication Cards are a communication system for individuals whose understanding is enhanced
through objects. The cards consist of an object mounted on a 4"x
6" flexible plastic card. Pairing the Lex with an object card is a
great way to add voice to the cards. By simply attaching the
object card with Velcro to the Lex, you have created a talking card.
The Lex could be activated by either pressing on the card, or
pulling the card off from the Lex will also activate the message.
For more information on the TalkingMyWay Communication
Cards, please refer to our catalog or to our website.
INTRODUCTION
Your Adaptivation, Inc. Lex has been designed to provide easy
access for individuals with physical or mental disabilities to basic
and effective augmentative communication. The Lex allows an
individual to record three different messages on three separate
levels and play them back. Messages are accessed by pressing
anywhere on the blue membrane switch on the top. Because the
Lex is so easily programmed, it is great for promoting interaction
in inclusive settings. Feel free to contact Adaptivation at any
time for assistance using your Lex.
