BIGMack Switches

Big Mack Switches are an assistive technology device in which one can record a single message into the BIGmack Communicator.  The activation surface on the communicator can be pressed for playback.  The BIGmack is an excellent choice for individuals with visual impairments or who require a larger target area. These can be taken out on loan at our Terry James Resource Library.
