October is National AAC Month (also International AAC Awareness Month), with AAC standing for “augmentative and alternative communications.” Or in more everyday language, assistive technology for people with verbal-speech disabilities.
If you’re looking for the right AAC, or are curious about options, a good resource to start with is our BridgingApps AAC App List. The list highlights 18 apps (11 of which have 5-star reviews). Depending on the app, available features include:
- Text-to-speech
- Picture boards
- Audiovisuals
- Preferred-words tracking
- Word and sentence prediction
- Messaging
- Choice of languages and/or voices.
There are apps designed for every age and ability.
