Free AAC apps are a great resource for many purposes. They can provide a good place to start, but the best application or device is one that supports an individuals unique strengths and needs. In many cases, a paid application or dedicated communication device may best meet an individual’s needs. To find a system which meets an individual’s specific needs, a comprehensive assessment of AAC is recommended that is conducted by a speech language pathologist. If you are looking for an SLP who can provide an AAC evalution, go to the AAC Professionals in Minnesota. (SLPS & Vendors included). If you are looking for an equipment trial for a speech generating device, go to the Equipment Lending section
This website features free, customizable AAC apps that provide voice output, can be backed up, and remain free throughout use.
Looking for something in particular, like apps for iPads or Androids? Hold the Command key + F, then add your search term and press Enter.

Description: Speakbook is a simple communication tool that was developed by Patrick Joyce who had Motor Neurone Disease (MND / ALS). Understanding the progression of his condition and the needs of others, Patrick realised that there was a need for a cheap and easy-to-use way of communicating for people who are able to read and spell and can move their eyes, but struggle to point with their finger or hand. Speakbook is a template for a communication book which you populate with your own messages. It also provides access to an alphabet chart. While originally developed with MND in mind, Speakbook can be useful for anyone who is literate and requires a communication tool that they can access with their eyes.
