Communication.  Nothing connects us more than being able to communicate with each other.  And while the Internet is certainly a wonderful tool to help us do this with others not in our own immediate vicinity, there is a much deeper joy and satisfaction that comes from being able to sit down with friends or family in person and enjoy the pleasures of talking with each other face-to-face.

Of course most of us take this precious ability for granted and can't even imagine what it would be like not to be able to speak...to anyone.  Yet, speech impairment can affect people who have had strokes,  have been in accidents, and who suffer from various disorders and diseases, such as throat cancer and cerebral palsy.  Wouldn't it be great if there was a device that could help these folks be able to talk with their friends and family again?

Enter the TextSpeak TS Series Talking Keyboard available from Rehabmart!  Created by the progressive and innovative Chester Creek company, this electronic augmentative and alternative communication system (AAC) enables individuals with severe speech impairment to verbally communicate with anyone they choose, allowing these individuals to become active participants in daily communication interactions.

This Talking Keyboard is the easiest to use augmentative communication keyboard device available on the market today.  Specifically designed for vocally impaired and speech limited persons of all ages, it also features a large-key VisionBoard, making it that much easier to be utilized by people who also have sight limitations.  From children to the elderly, everyone can operate this simple device; just take it out of the box and it's ready to work!  No huge manuals to read, and nothing to install or put together.
