Each button can be customized with a picture and will accommodate voice recording and sequences of 2 and 3. "Ready?" "Set..." "Go!" - and you're spontaneously communicating, demonstrating cause and effect as well as sequencing. State "yes," or "no," sing a song, or tell a story in 2 to 3 parts. Keep a lookout for additional versions with special options.
