Tactile Communication Devices

pinshape

I designed a Tactile Communication Device, specifically tailored for the GoTalk 9+. Originally intended for Developmentally Disabled students, this device has been repurposed to address a critical issue at an elementary school near mine. Visually impaired kids attending that school struggle to communicate using the GoTalk 9+, as they cannot identify what buttons to press. To overcome this challenge, we created tactile objects that allow these students to feel and thereby know which buttons to press. The symbols on each TCD directly relate to the word it represents. This document outlines the color and symbol for each TCD, with STL files included that are not final designs and do not follow a chronological order.
