Scanning Lightwriters

SL87 - Keyboard Lightwriter with scanning

The SL87 Lightwriter is a compact integrated scanning communication aid, with very high legibility. The keyboard permits users with progressive conditions to migrate from direct selection to scanning at their own pace, with no delays in reassessment, ordering, or supply. When the SL87 is used in scanning mode, the keyboard allows faster creation of user memories and change of setups by the therapist or carer.
