Need A Gadget To Get Attention Of Deaf Child

[Ornery]

My mother-in-law was asked by the teacher of her deaf, autistic, grandson if she could find something like a watch that vibrates when activated by a remote control. This would be to get his attention quickly if he happens to be doing something he shouldn't be, while physically away from his instructor.

Sounds like a great idea, but she hasn't found anything like that after looking for quite a while. I suggested a cell phone, but she said it would have to be quicker than that. I'm going to start searching, but I'm hoping somebody could get me a head start.

Thanks!

Get one of those dog collars that emits a small electric shock when the dog barks.

Then use it like a clapper.

If anything it'll keep him quiet.

See you in hell

You might be able to find a walkie talkie that has a vibrate setting like a cell phone does, or maybe some type of local pager unit.

I'm already on it. Of course it would have to be hacked to use a vibrating device instead of a shock, but it makes all kinds of sense. Why re-invent the wheel?

Vibrating pager with pushbutton transmitter.

There are tons of devices with slight variances from this one.

Hmm, how about you give a smile to the next person who walks by you.

I'm not endorsing any brand/product. But a google search for "deaf wireless vibrating pager" gave that link on the first page.

My MIL says she REALLY appreciates it. Many thanks to you. I told her to sit tight while I search for a few others to choose from. She was ready to order this one right now!
