Features
The BIGmack is a portable communication device that has a large, circular plastic top that is available in a range of colours which aids identification (red, green, yellow, blue, black).

This device can record up to 75 seconds of speech for playback. It also has a "one shot" timer that prevents messages being repeated if the user accidentally bounces on the device.

Switch adapted toys or appliances can be connected to the BIGmack 2 to play whilst the message speaks. Symbols can also be attached to the device by using Snap Switch Caps. These caps are clear and protect symbols that are attached to the BIGmack 2.

The BIGmack 2 runs on a 9 volt battery (included) and comes with a cable to connect a toy or appliance.
