Do I need a prescription or doctor's order to buy a speech tablet?

No. Gus Communication Devices sells AAC speech tablets directly to consumers with no prescription, no physician's order, no speech evaluation, and no pre-approval required. You can order today and receive your device in 3 to 4 business days. This is a major advantage over going through insurance, which can take months and require multiple evaluations.

What is the best AAC device for aphasia and stroke recovery?

For adults recovering from stroke or living with aphasia, we strongly recommend the Samsung 11 inch Speech Tablet Bundle at $699.99. The larger screen makes button selection easier for adults with motor challenges. TalkTablet PRO includes vocabulary sets designed for adults to express needs, feelings, and everyday phrases. No prescription or speech-language pathologist evaluation is required to order.

Are speech tablets HSA or FSA eligible?

Yes. AAC speech tablets purchased from Gus Communication Devices are generally HSA and FSA eligible as assistive communication devices for qualified medical purposes including autism, aphasia, stroke, and other speech disorders. We recommend confirming with your plan administrator before purchase.

Does Gus Communication Devices accept insurance?

We sell directly to consumers at consumer prices and do not bill insurance directly. Our devices are priced $499 to $999, compared to $4,000 to $8,000 for traditional dedicated AAC devices billed through insurance. Many customers find it faster and cheaper to pay directly. We accept HSA and FSA cards, Shop Pay 0% financing for 12 months, and all major credit cards. No insurance authorization or Medicare pre-approval is needed.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders ship within 1 business day and are delivered in 3 to 4 business days via free shipping. We ship to all 50 US states. No sales tax is charged outside of Arizona.

What is TalkTablet PRO and is it included with the speech tablets?

TalkTablet PRO is an award-winning AAC app developed by Gus Communication Devices. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and is included free with all Samsung bundle purchases pre-installed (a $250 value). It features over 30,000 SymbolStix symbols, 15 SLP-designed vocabulary sets, customizable button pages from 1 to 144 buttons per page, offline use with no internet required, and supports Android, iOS, Windows, and Chromebook.

How do your prices compare to traditional AAC devices like Tobii Dynavox?

Our speech tablet bundles range from $499.99 to $999.99 and include the tablet, AAC app, and protective case. Traditional dedicated AAC devices such as those from Tobii Dynavox or PRC-Saltillo typically cost $4,000 to $8,000 when purchased through insurance channels, and often require a speech evaluation, physician prescription, and months of waiting. We offer the same communication capability at consumer electronics pricing with no delays.
