ProxPAD Choice Maker Kits

ProxPAD uses RFID (radio frequency identification) and gives voice output. Ideal for users that need tangible object or other site cues to initiate communication. It responds to touch or proximity frequency. The Touch mode requires your hand or sound tag to make contact with the blue surface of the ProxPAD while the Proximity mode allows you to swipe the sound card above the surface making it perfect for the person who has limited mobility or needs the ProxPAD mounted under a table or wheelchair tray.

Tactile symbols are created when an object is mounted on a hand-sized card representing core vocabulary categories (i.e. people, places, actions, objects, etc.). Then attach a recordable sound tag to the tactile card for voice output.
