Talk To Me 100 CD by Sydspeak Inc.
This is the low cost alternative to the Talk To Me 100 device. This is a powerful engaging tool for children who are learning to talk, or who have difficulty mastering verbal expression. Together, you and your child will have fun learning to talk.
Talk To Me 100 contains 100 words most frequently used in 
conversation. Those words are recorded and paired with symbols that represent their meaning. Press a symbol and Talk To Me 100 speaks the corresponding word: "happy". Combine more than one word and the device expresses a complete thought: "I am happy".
As the child's partner and guide, you will use this tool to enhance the learning process. Your role is central: Initiate conversation, repeat 
words spoken by the device and by the child, ask follow-up questions, indicate you understand what you are being told. Be consistent, practice daily. Soon your child will realize words don't simply fly aimlessly through the air. Words have power.
Note from Ed Arranga founder of Autism One: "Talk to Me 100 was developed by a speech and language pathologist with 35 years of experience and her son who were committed in developing an effective product parents could afford. Mission accomplished."

Testimonials
I adore my Talk To Me 100. I think it is simple, approachable, user friendly, adaptable and highly functional. I am so excited to share it with my students, interns and colleagues. I have spent my entire career in early intervention and this is exactly the device I have envisioned using with the children. The pictures are perfect, the vocabulary is excellent and your directions to the parents on the back are so clear, plus the price is so affordable.

"Wanted you to know- today J. was upset at the end of the day. Behaviors included hitting others, throwing/tearing objects and chair throwing. He refused to sit even with the picture icons. I was able to get him to sit and pulled out his Talk To Me. What I thought was the problem didn't even really phase him. He communicated "silly". Then we talked about good/bad choices. He communicated good and happy with the device. Then I asked him if he was ready for the bus and he said school. We were able to talk about it's time to go home and he communicated "home". He was able to communicate and the behaviors that usually took at least a 1/2 hour were significantly shortened to a couple of minutes. We are also observing him attempting to speak more."

"I've been using the Talk To Me 100 with a variety of clients, and I'll have to say that everyone I've used it with has been so motivated to communicate with the device. I find that many of my autistic clients are fascinated that they can say so much with it. Of course, I guide them with partial physical prompts when they're starting out...and after the message is completed (e.g. I want go home), they look at me and smile and nod their heads as if they're agreeing with what they had just communicated to me."
