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 autism?

For children and adults with autism who are nonverbal or minimally verbal, we recommend the Samsung 8.7 inch Speech Tablet Bundle at $499.99 as the best entry-level option, or the Samsung 11 inch Speech Tablet Bundle at $699.99 for best overall value. Both include TalkTablet PRO pre-installed with 15 SLP-designed vocabulary sets, over 30,000 SymbolStix symbols, and customizable button pages ready to use out of the box.

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.

Great tool for those that

"Great tool for those that can't speak just yet. Thank you for the help with our little one. 👍🏼"

Neil

"This is a nice compact design and effective device for helping my down syndrome daughter with her speech articulation. I would highly recommend this tablet."

— Neil R. (5/5)

So helpful…

"My autistic non-speaking son had been denied the use of an aac device for years and I finally went against the professionals opinion of him “not needing one” and purchased one. This Christmas we gave him the gift of communication and he absolutely loves it and proved he DOES have a need for it. The device itself is great and fully equipped with an easy to use system. I highly recommend this product and this company."

— Stacy K. (5/5)

First AAC device purchase for 4 year old

"Thank you for offering easy to use tablets. We purchased a tablet for our 4 year old son to begin using. It is wonderful to have tools like these to help him communicate. When he is older I think he will be much faster and more comfortable - it will take time but this is a good place to start!"

— Miguel P. (5/5)

Great learning tool

"Love that the tablet comes with the speech app already installed. Other common apps are also installed and they were easy to disable and hide until ready to use. The speech app is very user friendly, I was able to create new pages and buttons easily without reading the instruction. Love that no wifi is needed, helping to reduce EMF exposure. Tech support is very prompt. My son locked the tablet by accident and tech support got us back in right away. Can't beat the price."

— Candice T. (5/5)

Our daughter finally has a voice

"I am so thankful for this company. We have been waiting for a 1 1/2 yrs for the school to get a device and program that is appropriate for our 41/2 yr old daughter. We got tired of waiting on the school. Because this device and program was affordable and seemed to offer everything we were looking for we decided to give it a shot. This program is amazing. It was so easy to set up just by watching to tutorial videos. If I have a question there seems to already be a video answering it. I love that we can control the set up for what we believe is best for our kiddo. Our daughter started using regularly 2 weeks ago. The excitement she gets from being able to choose her own snack or pick an activity melts my heart. Her private speech therapist was amazed by the program and thought it was perfect for our daughter. We are seeing more modivation in her wanting to communicate not only with the device but sign's as well. I can't thank this company enough for giving us an affordable option so we could finally give our baby a voice."

— Megan C. (5/5)

recent purchase

"We recently purchased this speech device for our 5 year old son after struggling to get one through insurance that wasn't out of our price range. We quickly got this in the mail two days after ordering it. We watched the video about customizing it and it was super easy. Our son's teachers and speech therapists have all loved the simplicity of the device and get it set up for his needs. I would highly recommend anyone who is struggling in getting a device like we did to seriously look at this company."
