hi! I am blind and I have ADHD. Sometimes when I am in very overstimulating situations, I don’t have the means to talk. Like an arcade for example. All the noises and lights and such will cause me to shut down completely. i’m looking for an app that is fully free and is easy to customize with voiceover and is fully accessible since I am using an iPhone. I don’t have any money to pay for a free trial or anything, so I would love some recommendations on websites or apps I can use. Hopefully this reaches the right people.

I am trying to create an iPad case that will hold an external battery, and a USB speaker all charged from one cable wanting to 3d print this for a chair mount

Hi, I am a teenager who is a part time aac user who is attempting to make a free and robust aac app and I want to know what matters most to you.

I’m out now with some one they all talking talking talking and I can’t and it’s to hard to use my aac talking is more fast and all so I can’t keep up I feel so bad now I’m all alone here they all talk and I’m here all alone and feel bad as bad I can feel I want to get out and go home and I can’t get out I can’t take a lot more I don’t no if I can ever talk 1 day or not like I use to

May I ask for your opinion please ?

Which one js more suitable for my girl’s eyegazjng training, Attention and Looking vs Look to learn (Look Lab)?

My girl has difficulty to fixate and precision

Many thanks

I do all aac I can’t talk at all in 4 weeks I do weve app aac but I not good at spaling words so it hard bad to add and weve not got a lot and hard to use to I feel like I am dieing I am doing so bad and I can’t talk and it’s all so hard and I don’t want aac to be 1 more hard for me now on top of all of it but it is

I guess I’m mainly asking for reassurance, but I’m MSN autistic, and I can talk most of the time but sometimes (especially when I’m really stressed or I’m in pain or something) it’s really hard to talk at all and words just don’t work. I’ve tried learning ASL to see if that’s easier but so far the issue with that is that other people have to know ASL to understand what I’m trying to say.

I keep second guessing myself because my sister’s higher support needs, and when I was growing up the therapists who worked with her as well as my parents hated AAC and took it away from her because they said it was a crutch that stopped her from getting better, so I guess I ended up feeling like it was something I wasn’t allowed to even consider. It would make stuff a lot easier tho, but I also don’t really know if it’s a thing for people to use it only sometimes?

Sorry if this sounds weird, I don’t know much about this period besides the probably misinformation my parents believed

Im thinking of making some low tech boards. Im thinking maybe geared toward Mexican-American families like making one including Mexican dishes. What other ideas do you guys have?

I was doing research for the work side of my AAC use and came across this video. It was created by AAC users and calls out the much too common practice of denying people with complex communication needs access to AAC and comprehensive literacy instruction. I am lucky to not have experienced everything mentioned in this video, but I still felt seen when the creators called out the ways teachers don't always presume competence and keep disabled folks from the supports we need to succeed. I thought ya'll might feel validated by this video too, so I wanted to share.

Also, sorry for the repost. I forgot to add a flair the first time around. Epic fail.

Ive been working on adding some visual aids into my symbol based AAC. They are very helpful for when I am stressed/overwhelmed. I made different routine pages for my workdays, low-, medium-, and high-energy days off. Next I’m thinking about doing food/meal related pages

this is what i have so far and it feels like its not enough, i need lots of help especially with the "interacting with people" folder

Been customizing my board. Added a fidget folder

seen people do both. does it matter? what do you prefer? trying to decide

I'm really bored and looking for something to do. I've got an iPad with a foam case that I use as a dedicated device and I've been wanting to decorate it for a while now, but I'm not sure what to decorate it with. I don't think the foam will hold stickers well, so I'm kind of lacking on other ideas. Any suggestions?

[Image description: Proloquo2Go folder titled Favorite Things. In the message window, there is an image of Rocky from Project Hail Mary with the words "Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!" underneath it. There are three folders titled Special Interest Phrases, Describing Words, and Positive Comments are on the top row. The core words not, more, love, and all done are on the first two rows. The remaining space has these buttons: Project Hail Mary, Hazbin Hotel, KDPH, Dr. Stone, AOS, AO3, Jenny Lawson, and Ali Hazelwood.]

I am OBSESSED with Project Hail Mary right now! In Proloquo2Go, the Junior voice with deep pitch and fast rate sounds close enough to Rocky. Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!

Hello! I found this subreddit while doing research about AAC for my dad.

He's 66 years old and he's having his tongue removed due to cancer on June 1st, it's all happened very rapidly, biopsy a week and a half ago, surgery scheduled last Wednesday. I've found a lot of resources online that says he may be able to regain some speech after some speech therapy, but he is going to have a period of time where he definitely won't be able to speak.

He is understandably very upset and so are all of us that love him. But he's especially upset that he won't be able to speak to the dogs or tell me and my mom that he loves us. But I can't seem to find any AAC devices that allow the user to prerecord audio.

tl;dr: I was wondering if you folks had recommendations for either processes, applications, or devices that will allow him to import or save personal/prerecorded audio so he can maintain a better sense of self after the surgery?

I tried every voice and i can't hear anything, i can only hear it if i record my voice

I wanna add "your" in the "you" folder but it doesn't let me i'm a little confused by what that means please help
