My wife and i have been looking for an app to allow our son with autism to easily communicate in school This app has the right idea but lack functionality The pricing system is disappointing Other apps like Posco allow you to pay a one time fee and have everything I recommend you look at the alternatives     Not as good as alternatives Ehoppin

This app delivers a very poor user experience Once you select your method of communication either video or icons you cannot switch between the two until you restart the application The icons are arranged linearly meaning that in order to communicate pain for example you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list There are definitely better ways to deliver a user experience on an iOS device This developer has just taken the lazy way and converted what must have been a printed manual into an app A shame really     Bad user experience giovanp

Aphasia is an acquired language disorder which can occur after a brain injury such as a stroke Lesions to different areas of the brain can result in qualitatively different impairments i e difficulty expressing or comprehending language Psychologists who have worked with such patients know all too well the debilitating effects it can have on someone s life Often times the patient can understand what others are saying but simply lack the ability to communicate through speech or writing Several of the patients I have worked with became depressed withdrawn and isolated after their stroke Fortunately certain patients can benefit from augmentative or alternative communication ACC To that end technology can sometime help patients regain some basic communication skills I have recently reviewed this app on my blog for psychologist and refer to it as small but potentially life changing tools They allows patients to scroll through common phrases designed to facilitate communication such as I have aphasia I had a stroke I have trouble speaking yes no etc Other similar similar apps include common phrases related to activities of daily living Pictures are provided beside the text to facilitate communication if reading is difficult                 Simple but potentially life changing Sylvain Roy

For patient use Can be tricky to get patients to use this initially and quite limited vocabulary but a great resource for folks to have in their pocket                 Good Me2andYou

This is a great FREE resource for speech therapists I do not work with adults anymore but this is a great free tool that we can start recommending to our patients and their families                 Very good app Geek SLP

Great resource for clinicians and people with aphasia Does not include thurough list of icons but a great tool for introducing aac to new pts and family members Would want an actual device for every day use but this gives you a good idea of what the lingraphica is like                     Great app Blondeklutz

This is a great app The icons are excellent and the voice is very clear                     Thanks china1919

As an occupational therapist I was excited about this program to share with my CVA patients I was unable to get the program to work for me as everytime I selected Small Talk Aphasia the program would take me back to my ipod home page I feel this program would be very helpful for my patients and am disapointed that I can t recommend it as even I am unable to use it     Bummer O.T.

This new version is not moving foward I downloaded it fine and when I try to use this application it goes straight back to my ipod s home screen Please help this looks to be a wonderful application and I was looking foward to learning more about it Please help Thanks     Disappointed future SLP

The Small Talk based on the Lingraphica dedicated communication device is a real find for those folks with communication challenges who need an easy and quick portable method to express their basic needs graphically with speech output The free application which is downloaded easily onto an iphone or touch ipod via the itunes software is amazing Even with its limited vocabulary it provides immediate access to a set of prestored emergency vocabulary Thank you Lingraphica for your generosity                     Voice for the Voiceless Esquire B

I use this app with my 10 yr old grandson who is able to understand but not able to speak due to neurological impairment I think this app would also benefit some autistic children in communicating in addition to other kids with neurological impairments I love that I never have to remember to pack up something else another communication device because I always have my phone with me He loves it too just wish one thing could be added I would love to see option to chose a man s or a woman s voice I would gladly pay for that I would pay even more if I could choose a child s voice with a gender option I have been showing this app to speech therapists and special education teachers We all agree If it had the gender option I would have given it 5 stars                 Add gender option Nana7984
