I originally purchased this communication system for my son with Autism 2 years ago, for $7,400.00, plus $1,000.00 for the software and carry case, charger. The DynaVox V represents a new era in augmentative communication. A fully-integrated communication system, the V device allows the user to explore a realm of new possibilities. The V enables rapid, functional communication and expression for all essential life activities in any setting, for any age and for all abilities. Augmented communicators can learn to use the V within minutes, yet the device has the flexibility and power to grow with the individual for years. Specifications ? Weight
