Lucas the Lion Loves The Tiny Talker

My 3 year old non verbal child couldn’t communicate with us until I bought this tiny talker. Now when she needs something we ask her to get her talker and she will push the button to what she needs. It works so well and makes communication a bit easier. I couldn’t afford a $250 app for my phone and this has been a godsend. Definitely glad I bought it. She doesn’t sit so well for the book to read it to her but she does use the tiny talker I would highly recommend if you are having troubles communicating with your nonverbal toddler.

I have a 2 year old with delayed speech and he has started aggressive behaviours since he can't communicate I remembered back to when my 7 year old was 3 years old with delayed speech and newly diagnosed with autism at that time he attended preschool and they were able to lend him a go talk. Unfortunately at this time we do not have the funds or access to get one and so I started looking and came across this book and tiny talker. We just recieved it in the mail today I read the book and we followed along with the tiny talker. He is communicating with us for the first time ever!!!! It's working, the smile on his face makes it so worth it!!! I HIGHLY recommend this purchase!!!!!

Bought this book for my autistic nephew for Christmas. He is nonverbal and loves reading. This is the first AAC type device he has ever used and he is able to follow along with the book and communicate with his mom using the device that came with it. Read the book myself and think it is such a great way to introduce AAC to kids. Very happy customer and highly recommend!

very happy

The button that is suppose to say, “I’m sorry” sounds more like “I’m shy.” Beyond that, this is a great communication device. It’s rather pricey for a book. I’ve seen similar books with talking key pads (not communication devices) for a fraction of the cost.

My non speaking student requests to read this book ALL the time. She feels connected to Lucas. The excitement she felt when I read this book to her new class was absolutely priceless. The other students who were all speaking individuals participated and pressed the buttons. It allowed them to understand my student’s communication on her iPad AAC device in a way they could relate to. Thank you for creating this book and making my student’s day ❤️

I am a special education preschool teacher. The majority of my students are nonverbal. This book is so cute and appropriate! I think it would also be great for siblings to better understand as well. I am giving this book 5 stars because the concepts and what the book is however, I do find the pictures a little vague and if my student spilled their milk, I would work on independence or saying I need help versus I’m sorry but I would recommend this book with a glowing recommendation with this. I have never seen a book highlighting using a device so well and appropriately before. For families who do not have access to 200$ talkers, this is great in order to give your child a voice and normalize it. As a teacher, I will be adapting the pictures possibly to fit into our boardmaker pecs/ core as well as using a go talk vs the talker but for a home book, this is amazing!

Biggest pro: a cute book about an animal with a speech delay/disability. Inclusion.Biggest con: the accompanying assistive device has muffled recordings and would be way more helpful if you could record your own buttons.

Every parents qith a non verbal child should know about this book! By far tge best book I found so far!

I bought it as a present for my nephew and he really likes it
