I just got the Kelvin talking model for a consumer who is also deafblind
(can hear some), so when it gets installed I'll post another message to
let you know how it works out.

Sarah,
So far I have never felt the need to use those. I find that most
thermostats can be tactually marked with fabric paint. If it is one of
the standard round ones, I put a mark on the middle part where the
pointer is and a mark right at 70 on the outer ring (or the client's
choice of temperature). These two marks can be lined up visually or
tactually. They then use this marker as a point to judge with. If it
is too warm, they can move the marker a distance below that point -- if
too hot a distance above that point. I find that most people are
satisfied with this system, as opposed to being able to set the degrees
to an exact number.
Here are two examples of talking thermostats:
The Kelvin
http://www.enablemart.com/productdetail.aspx?store=10&pid=1412&dept=23
is $129.00
and so is the VIP
http://www.talkingthermostats.com/
A bottle of fabric paint costs just a few bucks and you could mark 100
thermostats with it. Why waist the rehab money?

I just looked into talking thermostats for a friend. I found
several that are in the same price range. I have not had experience with
any of them. Does anyone recommend one over another? Or have you tried
one that you weren't satisfied with?
Thanks in advance,
Sarah Heinrich
