Its not revolutionary at all. The real story is that Ethan's speech therapists were incompetent and it took a kid to do their job for them. Any experienced speech therapist should have been able to have an appropriate device made.

Abnormal! This is not an invention or innovation. This is just pure overengineering and wasting of money!
3D printed case, arduino, big buttons, why all that? Just connect 2 buttons with different LED's and that's it.
(ps: I am sorry about your friend, but he deserves a lot more than this crap)
Aye he goes to my school👊🏻 Good job man
Jacob, I have to congratulate you for your invention. What you have done is a fantastic invention and you are only 14! Wow, that is impressive! But, you know what? Your invention is NOTHING compared to the size of your heart. YOU are the best!
