"Using Talking Photos as Assistive Technology Tools"
Click on http://www.augcominc.com/presentations.html to see a brief presentation on "Using Talking Photos as Assistive Technology Tools" by the for-profit group of Augmentative Communication, Inc.
In addition to this short intro presentation, ACI also sells a talking photo album device (also available through other vendors, just Google "talking photo album"). Here's what they have to say about the item:
The Talking Photo Album is a simple, inexpensive, easy-to-use device that has many potential uses for adults and children who need augmentative communication. You can record four minutes of speech, 10 seconds at a time, in any language of your choice. You can use photos, book cutouts, symbols, drawings, Xeroxes, newspaper clippings, or text on each of its 24 pages. You can use it for instructions, to tell stories, to record autobiographical information, to facilitate daily conversation, to help order in restaurants, to facilitate memory and for scores of other purposes.http://www.augcominc.com/book_details.html
