Why buy direct, not through insurance

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about ordering, insurance, returns and support.

Do I need a prescription or insurance to order?+
No. Our speech tablets are sold direct-to-consumer. You do not need a prescription, prior authorization, speech evaluation, or insurance approval. Order today and your tablet ships within 24 hours.
Can I use my HSA or FSA card to pay?+
Yes. AAC speech tablets are an eligible HSA/FSA expense. You can pay with your HSA/FSA debit card at checkout, or use 0% financing for 12 months through Shop Pay. Call us at 360-303-3356 if you need a receipt formatted for reimbursement.
What is the difference between the tablet and the TalkTablet PRO app?+
A speech tablet is a complete hardware bundle (Samsung or Apple device, protective case, and TalkTablet PRO pre-installed) ready to use out of the box. TalkTablet PRO is the AAC app behind every Gus speech tablet and is also available standalone on the Apple App Store and Google Play for $199.99 if you already have a compatible device.
How fast will my speech tablet arrive?+
All in-stock orders ship within 24 hours from our US warehouse with free shipping. Most US customers receive their tablet within 3–5 business days. We do not collect sales tax outside of Arizona.
What is your return policy?+
We offer a 30-day return window on unopened or like-new tablets. See our Refund Policy for full details, or call 360-303-3356 to discuss your situation — we have been helping families since 1992 and we work with you.
Who is the speech tablet for? What conditions does it support?+
Our speech tablets are used by nonverbal and minimally-verbal children and adults with autism (ASD), stroke and aphasia, ALS, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, laryngectomy, throat cancer, dysarthria, apraxia and other speech challenges. They work for both kids and adults — the vocabulary and layout are fully customizable.
Is there ongoing support after I buy?+
Yes — lifetime US-based phone support is included with every speech tablet. Call 360-303-3356 to speak with a real person (not a bot). We also offer a library of 170+ tutorial videos on our YouTube channel covering setup, customization, vocabulary editing and caregiver tips.
