AlbakiReads Editorial

A storybook paired with AAC practice

Lucas enjoys familiar childhood activities, but his difficulty speaking leaves him frustrated when others cannot understand what he wants. The story introduces the Tiny Talker device as a way for him to communicate. Its accompanying method links the book’s symbols with sound buttons on the device, inviting children to see, touch, and hear the connections. This makes the title both a narrative about communication barriers and an introduction to a specific approach to using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families introducing an AAC device to a child with communication disabilities
  • Educators or caregivers seeking story-based AAC activities
  • Children who enjoy animal characters and everyday-life stories

Book overview

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!
