Abstract: The present invention relates a partner assisted voice output communication method to aid individuals of all ages with overcoming verbal language expression difficulties. This method is conducted in conjunction with an interactive voice output device as a teaching tool which allows a child/learner—by pressing buttons/symbols provided on an overlay—to see and hear words in average daily activities and selected activities. The learner's partner, teacher, or guide uses this tool to model single words in context or combines 2 or more words while speaking in a natural voice, increasing functional, effective, interactive verbal communication. Strategies and supplemental training aids for using the method and device to engage the language learner/student are disclosed.
