Pros:•Portability

•Ease of Use•The student turns on the receiver, the teacher turns on the transmitter and clips it to their clothing

•Upkeep•Rechargeable batteries- plug in the unit nightly to recharge!

•Benefits for other students•There has been some evidence to indicate personal amplification systems benefit children with learning disabilities. (Source)

Cons:•Upkeep

•The student and teacher need to be mindful of the power still in the system- it needs to be recharged nightly

•Easily observable by others•If a student is afraid of bullying due to FM system use, the student may be reluctant to use it. Alternatively, a student can use a non-invasive system such as a Pocketalket Ultra.
