149.99 USD

The top-rated assistive communication solution for non-verbal and speech delayed children. Go beyond the buttons that speak approach found in traditional speech generating apps, with the only app that provides the advanced tools needed for both sentence building AND language learning, empowering emerging communicators of all ages and abilities.

aacorn replaces the outdated grid of folders layout used by last/current generation AAC apps (where far too often children can’t find the words they need), and introduces a break-through research-based design that is much easier to use and often leads to surprising outcomes!

Through the innovative ‘Word Tree’ interface a child makes a single word choice, and almost like magic, branching pathways with smart suggestions for the next word in a sentence present themselves! aacorn learns over time to predict what YOU want to say, reducing frustration and providing access to words a child might otherwise never discover.

aacorn models language visually - showing the connections and relationships between words, rather than jumping in and out of folders. Children are able to see and grasp the meaning of words and learn language concepts like context and grammar! The difference is amazing and can only be found in aacorn and aacorn Plus.

Here is just some of the feedback from leading independent speech experts:

• "aacorn signals a revolution in the way we provide AAC support to children.. The first to really capitalize on the strengths of the iPad" - Professor Sue Fletcher-Watson (University of Edinburgh).
• "BridgingApps highly recommends Aacorn AAC app and think this app has great potential for kids needing help with making sentences as well as communicating basic words" - Bridging Apps (Easter Seals)
• "LOVE the word tree! If I needed an AAC this is the kind of interface I would want!" - Dr Robin Parker (PraacticalAAC)
• "My son achieved more in 1 week with aacorn than he did in 2yrs with PECS and other AAC apps" - SaraB (USA)

aacorn can very often be more engaging for children, but importantly is also incredibly powerful, making communication more accessible to children including those who cannot yet type or spell or who find the older grid-based systems so frustrating.
