Obi can be purchased directly from our website via our shopping page. Also check with your nearest advocacy group as they may stock Obi devices in their loan closet, if applicable.
WHAT DO I GET WHEN I ORDER AN OBI?
Your order will arrive with a new Obi device, set of Pal Pad switches, plate, placemat, two spoons and a charging cable. The box will also contain the user manual, quick start guide, and welcome sheet with information necessary to setup and use Obi.
Obi requires one or more activation switches in order to operate. If you do not have your own switches, you may choose the switches that best suit your needs.
