Flip Automatic Page Turner



The Flip Automatic Page Turner is a great tool that turns the pages of a book/magazine with the simple push of a button. It is wonderful for people that can not easly turn pages of books/magazines themselves. Another nice thing about it is that there is no age group that it is specific to and it gives the caregivers more flexablity. The caregiver can simply insert the book and the user can then turn the pages by themselves. It works like this:

An caregiver needs to:

  • Choose a book or magazine
  • Open the reading material to the page you want to read
  • Place the open book / mag into the FLIP assistive device
  • Set the guides for the size and thickness of the reading material

Optionally, depending on the motor ability of the reader, they may also

  • Make sure the switch is plugged in (if the reader can press a button switch,) OR
  • Insert the mouthstick in the mouthstick control (if the reader uses a mouthstick) OR
  • Set the device for fully automatic page turning by choosing the number of seconds before turning.

When the reader is ready to move on to the next page they can either

  • push a button on the console OR
  • press a big button switch

use a mouthstick to press a control
