Just installed this in my room, it’s perfect. I just wish there was a bigger example of how to set it up. I printed the small example but my eyes had a hard time seeing it. I would have loved to had a bigger image to help set it up only cause there were so many pieces once printed, laminated, and then cut it all got a bit mixed up. Other than that the resource is complete and very much speech path approved!
