Students listen to their teachers and other students for at least 75% of the day. Having the assistance of adaptive technology in the classroom can make the difference in the student’s success and confidence.

The FM system is an assistive device that assists those living with a hearing impairment.

 Hearing impairment/severe loss  Central Auditory Processing Disorder  Attention Deficit Disorders  Even students without a disability

Classroom  Classroom  Restaurant  Nursing home/Senior center  Theaters  Place of worships  Museums  Public meeting places  Corporate conference rooms  Convention centers

The speaker's words are crisp, free from distortion, and filters out background noise Click the picture to see and hear demonstration of the FM system

An example… The teacher is giving the class a spelling test. This device would enable the student to hear the spelling words with clarity. Click the picture to see a classroom demonstration

Easy to set up and works immediately Most important… The microphone is sensitive so no need to “yell.” The “speaker” should remember to ALWAYS turn the microphone off immediately - picks up any conversation. Need to know...

Prices for this type of device range from approximately $200 to $2, However, there are certain situations when the child’s school will be obligated to pay for the device.
