Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) Gives Everyone a Voice.

According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, more than two million people with significant expressive language impairment use AAC. Not all of us are born with the ability to talk, but we all deserve the ability to communicate our needs, thoughts, and feelings. Disabilities like autism and cerebral palsy can affect physical speech, but communication is so much more than that.

Giving a voice to individuals with developmental disabilities, injuries and other impairments empowers them. It enables them to speak for and advocate for themselves. Parents, caretakers, and educators do their best to interpret and understand a child, teen, or adult's needs and wants, but nothing takes the place of speaking for yourself. Technology, in the form of AAC apps, assistive technology devices, and speech-generating devices allow them to communicate.

Often, the technology that allows this empowerment is prohibitively expensive and difficult to use. That’s why we created Avatalker AAC & Aurora Symbol Set, our nonverbal symbol-based solutions for iOS (iPad & iPad Mini). Endorsed by Jenny McCarthy and the National Autism Association, our Avatalker AAC app is a vital component of their Give A Voice Program.
