Voice Output Communication Devices are designed for students to be able to have conversations and be able to communicate with others. These devices are essential for nonverbal individuals in order to overcome their communication barriers. Therefore, these devices are designed specifically for students who have a speech or language disability. These students are unable to use natural speech or have great difficulty with it. There are a variety of voice output communication devices, here are a few common ones that are found in schools...
- Accent 1200
- NovaChat
- Communication Builder

- Vantage Lite
The video below shows an example of a voice output communication device used with a little boy learning how to say EAT, GO, and GREEN. I liked that he is also given direct rewards and reinforcement for his communication.
