SpringBoardTM Lite
Smaller. Lighter. Portable.
And ready to communicate!
PRC is proud to introduce the new SpringBoardTM Lite,
a smaller, lighter, and more portable version of our popular
SpringBoardTM speech output device.
Designed for children and other entry-level AAC
communicators, SpringBoard Lite measures just
7.3" square... weighs just 2.5 lbs.... is available
in five bold colors... and features a built-in handle
for maximum portability.
The dedicated SpringBoard Lite is easy-to-use right out of the box.
And, with 4-, 8-, 15-, and 32-location display options, its communication
capacity can grow along with the user's capabilities. For ease of
operation, SpringBoard Lite features a simplified Toolbox as well as
the standard Toolbox featured in the SpringBoard Plus.
