AbleNet Offers New Lower Prices on Two of its Most Popular Assistive Technologies Just in Time for the Holidays

Do you have a favorite special education teacher or student in your life? Or maybe you know of a school district with special education classrooms in need of new assistive technologies. If so, AbleNet is offering new lower prices on both 'Bookworm' and 'SuperTalker,' along with other unique assistive technology ideas for holiday gift giving.

St. Paul, MN (PRWEB) November 14, 2007 - This season, as you plan for the holidays, consider giving something truly unique to a special education teacher, speech and language pathologist, your favorite special education student, or anyone who might benefit from assistive technology.

AbleNet, a world leader in the development of assistive technologies for students and adults with disabilities is offering new lower prices on 'SuperTalker' and 'Bookworm,' two of its most popular assistive technologies. Look for SuperTalker to be sold for $325.00, and BookWorm at just $179.00, online at http://www.ablenetinc.com, and in the company's 2007-2008 catalog.

For those who aren't familiar with 'SuperTalker' and 'BookWorm,' here's a little background information...

'SuperTalker' is one of AbleNet's most popular voice output devices, most frequently used by individuals who are unable to, or aren't comfortable with, using their voices to communicate. It is also a popular choice for speech and language pathologists in performing assessments and during therapy sessions. 'SuperTalker' is a progressive personal communicator with the capacity to store up to 64 messages that can be divided into two, four, or eight grid formats, with eight levels per grid, and corresponding keyguards for adding picture symbols -- making it the only communicator many users will ever require. SuperTalker can also be used to activate toys and appliances, or with an external switch for sequential messaging or sequential appliance activation during activities that require multiple steps.

Similarly, 'BookWorm,' AbleNet's ingenious literacy tool that turns nearly any children's book into a "talking book," is perfect for children who are non-verbal, but is also frequently applied to encouraging students with autism spectrum disorders and other disabilities to experience reading alone and in groups. 'Bookworm' comes with one eight-minute memory module, enough time to record as many as 32 pages. Extra recoding modules are available for those interested in building a talking book library. When giving SuperTalker as a gift, many parents and out-of-town grandparents have chosen to pre-record books in their own voices, which can be particularly comforting and inspiring to children. When purchasing 'SuperTalker' as a gift for a school or classroom, simply choose the books you'd like to share and record the story yourself, or let teachers choose books that enhance their curriculum and do the recording themselves. Books are not included which gives everyone the flexibility to select books that match each child's interests.

Not ready to purchase for this holiday season? No worries. The new, lower prices on 'SuperTalker' and 'BookWorm' are here to stay.
