Hi there! And welcome to our little forum for families! Here, we like to connect with families with children that use AAC apps.
Use the links below to get started and to join the conversation. Everyone's welcomed here :)
AAC apps are augmentative/alternative communication programs that allow a person to communicate with those around them without speaking.
Where can I get more information about AACs?
Try visiting the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's website
What are device "languages"?
A language system is how letters, words, phrases, and sentences are organized in the device’s communication software. Some language systems rely heavily on the alphabet for communication.
Other systems represent words and phrases with symbols, pictures or icons because many children are able to communicate before they are able to read and spell. Also, as vocabulary increases, combining symbols for words allows for more vocabulary with fewer keystrokes.
What if my child can't use his/her hands to touch the device?
There are numerous options for access and communication, including eye tracking, head pointing, switches, joystick options, and more.
