Hi all,
Wondering if any of you already use assistive & alternative communication apps for their non verbal DC?
My DD (7, non verbal ASD) has been using PECS more and more lately, thanks to our new ABA center, and they're thinking of switching her to an iPad. DD already has an iPad Air which she uses a LOT for playing (we are fine with that), so we'll buy a new iPad mini just for that. Also because a smaller tablet is more practical and less trouble to replace it if it's lost (still too expensive, but less than the big iPad!) ...
There are a few AAC that look interesting, my favourite is Proloquo2Go, pricey (£200) but it looks great in theory. Our ABA center would prefer a much cheaper and more basic one (for the sake of keeping costs down, which I'm not super keen on (Niki Talk Designer, £40). I think Niki Talk looks like nothing more than a basic online PECS, so if we spend money on an iPad, we may as well get a really good app?
Would love to hear your experiences with those.
Thanks!
