Apraxia Awareness Day Sale: Save 50% TODAY on the the top-rated assistive communication solution for non-verbal and speech delayed children, as featured in Apple's “Accessibility” AND “Special Education” Collections of recommended iPad Apps. The only speech generating (AAC) app to go beyond 'buttons that speak' by also focusing on language learning and comprehension.

The result of five years research into the limitations of assistive apps and devices, aacorn delivers a number of world-firsts for children with non-verbal Autism, Apraxia, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, MS, developmental delays or difficulty learning language.

aacorn replaces the outdated grid of folders layout used by last/current generation AAC apps and devices (where far too often children can’t find the words they need), and introduces a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

Through an innovative visual interface we call the Word Tree™ your child makes a word choice and branching pathways with smart suggestions for the next word in a sentence present themselves! By focusing on the relationships and connections between words we are modelling language skills while reducing the need for ‘hunting and pecking’ for hidden single words.
The difference is amazing and can only be found in aacorn AAC.

aacorn offers a unique language learning system that provides opportunities to increase your child’s use of new and novel vocabulary!
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 Go Talk Now” – SaraB (USA)
• “This innovative AAC app really could change the way we introduce, teach and model AAC systems to early communicators.” – Amanda Hartmann (SLP)

aacorn bridges the huge gap between low tech communication boards (PECS) and complex AAC apps designed for adults. It can often be much more engaging for children, but is also incredibly powerful, making communication more accessible to all children, including those who are wrongly deemed too young or 'not ready' because they cannot yet type or spell, or who find the older grid-based systems so frustrating.
