A quick 'heads-up'... the AAC app 'aacorn AAC ' is offering a 20% off deal this week only
(the app's first birthday)
As - like other fully featured AAC systems - this is an expensive app (usually £129.99), it may be worth your while to take advantage of this £99.99 offer while you can.
aacorn AAC is innovative and unique amongst AAC apps, displaying a dynamic 'word tree' that provides step by step support for simple sentence building. Each screen / step offers only a very few word choices at a time, and it learns familiar messages and offers a prediction based on previous choices/ use. The vocabulary available can be highly personalised with the user's own images. The overall design is child-friendly. You can view a wee video that illustrates the idea better than I can describe it!
aacorn AAC is very different to conventional 'grid-based' apps that display a (sometimes very large) array of symbols per screen, that may be found overwhelming by users, and with which it can be overly-demanding to expect some users to be able to build a sentence word by word, by navigating through several different 'category folders' (little words, people, adjectives, colours, clothes, actions etc.).
