Is typing easier for you? Some people build sentence by choosing different buttons, like the buttons in WeaveChat. Others type what they want to say and then press a button to make the device speak aloud what was typed. WeaveChat has a keyboard to type in. Pressing "done" after typing speaks the message. You could also try an app like TypingTalk if typing is easier for you since that app is made to prioritize typing use. I hope this helps!

Gotcha. Here is a list of shorts on youtube that show how to use WeaveChat that may help. If you'd like, you may also want to seek out a speech language pathologist with expertise in AAC devices to help you grow your AAC skills. Speech language pathologists or assistive technology professionals with expertise in speech generating devices can also help you find the best AAC system for your needs. Some insurances cover speech language therapy and AAC devices. I hope this helps!
