These are the simplest way for people with speech problems to make themselves heard.They are also a fun way to develop switch skills and assess a users' understanding - can they produce a message at the right time? It is easy to change the message, giving lots of opportunities to join in. A child could join in by playing a repeated phase from a story or a chorus from a song. A toy control option adds an extra dimension by playing a message at the same time as switching on a battery toy.

Devices with a s
mall number of messages may be the next step for users who can target more then one switch. Moving on to two messages can createmore opportunities to interact and it also introduces the element of choice. Pictures or symbols on the buttons will help users associate them with spoken messages and develop their vocabulary.
Stepped communicators are still operated by a single switch, but produce sequences of messages. The user could read the text from a story book, 
give a sequence of instructions to a carer or friend, or count objects as they are placed in front of mate.
