Book Synopsis

Lucas the lion cub loves playing with his friends, snacking on his favorite foods, watching his favorite shows on TV just like everyone else. But Lucas is different because he doesn't talk. This makes things harder for Lucas, and frustrating, because people don't understand what he wants and he can't find a way to tell them.

Then one day, Lucas's mom brings him The Tiny Talker(TM) to help when he can't find the words he needs. The Tiny Talker Method helps children with communicative disabilities learn to use an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device in a more natural way.

By pairing the device with a storybook, children are able to see the symbols in the story, touch the corresponding sound buttons on their Tiny Talker(TM) device, and hear the device's response. This reinforces children's understanding by appealing to visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning styles all at once. Lucas the Lion Loves The Tiny Talker(TM) is a fun and intuitive way to help children find their voice!
