GENERAL FEATURES:
Easy and Simple to Use - uses 2 AA batteries, housed in an external battery box
Safe - uses a Class 2 laser module (the lowest powered visible laser available). Most conventional presentation lasers are Class IIIa, and can be roughly 5 times more powerful than a Class II laser.
Comfortable Grip:
The laser is attached to an adjustable universal cuff. Cylindrical foam offers a padded palm area that naturally fits the arches of the hand. Cuff secures to the hand using a D-ring hook and loop strap. One size fits all. Latex-free.
WHO IS THE HAND HELD LASER FOR?
Some people may not have the strength, or range of motion to move their hand across a small communication board. However, they may still be to point using a hand held or hand mounted laser pointer. The following categories of people might benefit from a handheld laser: ‚¬¢ People with limited hand function ‚¬¢ People with significant neck weakness. If a person with a weak neck uses a hand held laser pointer, and a larger size communication board, they can sit or recline in a comfortable position, and not have to look down at a board in order to communicate. ‚¬¢ People who use the laser pointer as an indicator, pointing to objects. ‚¬¢ Some people with visual issues Let's say a person wants to use a core vocabulary communication board (such as AlphaCore), but has visual issues, and difficulty reading the font. One approach would be to use a small communication board with less "targets" (for example, a communication board with just the letters of the alphabet on it.) Another approach would be to use an enlarged version of AlphaCore, along with a handheld laser pointer.
(Using a core vocabulary system can be MUCH faster than spelling out everything letter by letter).
