aac: this is a communication aid

Buzz Lightyear and the Big Switch featured in a themed weekend for children who use communication aids, held by 1 Voice at the Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool, December 2004

Buzz Lightyear and the big switch can both say 'I am Buzz Lightyear', 'I come in peace' and 'To infinity and beyond!'

But the switch is recordable so it can say any series of messages - great for greetings, choice making, and inclusion at reading and circle time. Pic links to 'Fun' page.
