Considerations

Access
* Big Button has a transparent cap, with an opening to quickly slide in overlays, snaps onto it.
* The cap extends nearly to the table surface, giving the Big Button a large active area with an extremely low profile.
* You can communicate without lifting your hand off the table.

Communication
* The Big Button with Steps and Levels has two modes: "steps" mode and "levels" mode.
* In the steps mode, you can record three activities, each with up to ten 6-second steps. After recording, you select an activity and the user plays the steps in sequence, one by one. An LCD indicates the activity and step number.
* The level mode gives you ten distinct levels of single messages. The message stays the same until you change the level.
* An overlay storage compartment on the back makes changing an overlay easy. It is simple to erase or edit messages without affecting the other recordings. For example, if you want to change Step 5 of a "Making Coffee" activity, simply select the activity, press record, move up to Step 5, press the play button, and record your new message. All other steps remain intact.
