Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the BIGmack?

The BIG Candy Corn 2 and BIGmack are both single-message devices with similar functionality. The main differences are in physical design and weight. Both provide 2 minutes of recording time and are suitable for the same applications.

Can I change the message easily?

Yes. The BIG Candy Corn 2 allows easy re-recording of the single message. This makes it perfect for changing messages throughout the day or updating messages as communication needs evolve.

Is 2 minutes of recording time enough?

For most single-message applications, 2 minutes is ample. This allows for detailed messages, complete sentences, songs, or extended phrases. If you need multiple messages, consider multi-message devices like the QuickTalker series.

Is this suitable for cause-and-effect learning?

Absolutely. The BIG Candy Corn 2 is widely used in early intervention and special education for cause-and-effect learning. Users learn that pressing the button produces a result (sound, message, music), which builds understanding of intentional communication.

Can this be mounted or is it only for table use?

The BIG Candy Corn 2 is designed primarily for table or surface use due to its weight. The stability makes it ideal for users who need a device that won't move during activation.

Does this require batteries or power?

The BIG Candy Corn 2 operates on batteries. Battery life varies based on usage frequency. Check product specifications for battery type and replacement recommendations.

Is this suitable for adults or just children?

The BIG Candy Corn 2 is suitable for all ages. It's used successfully by children in early intervention programs, students in special education, and adults with acquired communication disorders (stroke, ALS, aphasia) or developmental disabilities.
