This is an overview of the language organization and features of the Speak for Yourself iPad application that was released on December 20th, 2011! This research-based Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) language app was designed by two speech-language pathologists with extensive experience and success in working with individuals who are nonverbal. Speak for Yourself is pre-programmed with almost 5,000 core and extended vocabulary words and can be customized for the individual. This application can begin with a single word, but has the capacity to hold almost 14,000...with no more than 2 touches to say any word! The AAC user is able to build language for a lifetime without re-learning known vocabulary because motor planning remains consistent. Everyone deserves a voice because it is a basic human right to Speak for Yourself!
