AAC Device / Speech-Generating App
High-tech augmentative and alternative communication system
For children who cannot speak or have minimal speech, AAC devices and apps provide a powerful voice. These tools transform symbols, pictures, or text into spoken words, enabling children to express their thoughts, needs, feelings, and stories. Research consistently shows that AAC does not prevent speech development—it supports all communication growth while giving children immediate access to language and connection.
Whether through a dedicated speech-generating device or an app on a tablet, AAC technology opens doors to conversation, learning, friendship, and participation in every aspect of life. From simple single-button devices for beginning communicators to comprehensive symbol-based apps with thousands of vocabulary words, there's an AAC solution for every child's needs and every family's budget.
Who This Helps
Expressive Communication
Empowering non-speaking or minimally speaking individuals to share their thoughts, needs, and feelings effectively.
Language Development
Supporting growth in vocabulary, grammar, and overall language skills for clearer communication.
Social Participation
Facilitating engagement in conversations, building friendships, and full inclusion in all social settings.
Literacy Skills
Enhancing reading, writing, and comprehension, which are crucial for academic and life success.
For All Ages & Settings
Beneficial for individuals from 18 months to adulthood, used effectively at home, school, clinic, and community.
Does This Sound Familiar?
"My child has no voice - I want them to be heard"
"PECS and boards aren't enough anymore"
"They have so much to say but can't speak"
"I'm afraid technology will replace speech development"
"AAC devices are so expensive"
"I don't know which app to choose"
You're not alone. These are common challenges faced by families of non-speaking children. The journey to finding the right communication system can feel overwhelming, but every child deserves a voice—and AAC technology makes that possible.
A Day Without the Right Support
Morning Routine
Conversation: Can't participate in back-and-forth conversation. Child has stories to tell from yesterday, questions to ask about today, but no way to share. Family conversations happen around them, not with them.
School Day
School: Can't answer questions or participate in class. Teacher asks who knows the answer. Child knows it. Raises hand. Gets called on. Opens mouth. Nothing. Teacher moves on. Knowledge trapped inside.
Playtime
Social: Can't engage with peers verbally. Peers play together, talking, laughing, planning games. Child stands nearby, wanting to join. Can't ask "Can I play?" Can't suggest ideas. Can't respond to questions. Eventually, peers stop trying to include them.
Throughout the Day
Everywhere: Voice output needed in all contexts. Every moment requiring communication becomes a barrier. Simple needs, complex thoughts, funny observations, important questions—all remain unspoken. Frustration builds. Connection fades.
Without voice output communication, non-speaking children experience isolation even when surrounded by people who love them. Every meal, every class, every interaction becomes a reminder of what they cannot say. This daily reality of communication barriers affects not just the child, but the entire family's quality of life and connection.
The Science Behind It
AAC devices work by transforming a child's intent into spoken language, creating successful communication experiences that build language skills and increase communication confidence over time.
Child Selects
Child chooses symbol, types word, or selects phrase on device
Device Speaks
AAC system generates voice output of the message
Partner Responds
Communication partner hears and responds to the message
Success Achieved
Successful communication happens, need is met
Development Continues
Child makes more attempts, language skills grow
Expressive Communication
Voice Output
Language Development
Social Participation
Literacy
This cycle of successful communication reinforces language learning. Each time a child uses their AAC device and receives a response, their brain builds connections between symbols/words and meanings. Over time, vocabulary expands, sentence structure develops, and communication becomes more sophisticated—all while the device provides immediate functional communication.
How to Use It Right
Success with AAC requires consistent access, constant modeling, and a communication-first mindset. These evidence-based practices ensure your child gets maximum benefit from their voice output system.
Device Available ALL the Time
The AAC device is your child's voice. It must be available constantly—at home, school, therapy, community, everywhere. Never restrict access or take it away as punishment. Would you take away a speaking child's voice?
Start with Core Vocabulary, Not Just Nouns
Core words like "want," "more," "go," "stop," "help," "like" are used across all contexts. Don't just program names of favorite toys. Include words that work everywhere for true communication flexibility.
Model Use Constantly (Aided Language Input)
Point to symbols on your child's device as you talk throughout the day. This "aided language input" teaches how to use AAC naturally. Model more than you expect your child to produce independently.
Don't Require Use Before Giving Item
If your child gestures for juice and you know what they want, give it while modeling "juice" on their device. Don't withhold items to force device use. This creates communication frustration, not communication growth.
Train All Communication Partners
Everyone who interacts with your child—family, teachers, therapists, friends—needs basic AAC training. Communication happens everywhere, so everyone needs to know how to respond to and support device use.
Device is Child's VOICE - Respect It
Respond to AAC-generated messages with the same attention and respect you'd give spoken words. Never ignore messages, talk over the device, or treat it as less legitimate than speech.
Duration: AAC is a lifelong tool for those who need it. Some children develop speech alongside AAC use and eventually transition away from devices; others use AAC throughout their lives. Both outcomes are valid and valuable.
Expert Perspective
"AAC devices give a voice to those who cannot speak. Research consistently shows AAC does NOT prevent speech - it supports all communication development. The device should be available everywhere, always."

The Struggle (Before)
Having Something to Say
Situation: Child witnesses something exciting—a bird landing on the window, a funny moment, something important.
Experience: Wants to tell parent immediately. Opens mouth. No words come. Tries to gesture, point, make sounds. Parent doesn't understand. Moment passes. Story remains untold. Connection missed.
Emotion: Frustration builds into isolation. "I have so much to say. Why can't anyone hear me?"

Classroom
Situation: Teacher asks question to whole class. Child knows the answer—has been learning, understands the content.
Experience: Raises hand eagerly. Teacher calls on them. Entire class waits. Child opens mouth. Nothing. Teacher waits a moment, then moves to another student. Child never gets to share what they know.
Emotion: Exclusion and invisibility. "I know the answer. I'm smart. But nobody will ever know."
Making Friends
Situation: Playground, children playing together. Child wants to join the game.
Experience: Can't say "Can I play?" Can't respond when peers ask questions. Can't suggest ideas or agree to rules. Stands at edge of group. Peers try at first, then give up. Eventually stop inviting. Isolation continues.
Emotion: Loneliness and yearning. "I want friends. I want to play. Why won't anyone include me?"
Without voice output, non-speaking children experience these scenarios repeatedly, every single day. The cumulative effect on self-esteem, social development, and quality of life is profound. AAC devices don't just enable communication—they enable connection, participation, and dignity.
The Breakthrough (After)
Having Something to Say
Situation: Child sees dog at park—big, fluffy, playful dog.
Experience: Opens AAC app. Navigates to vocabulary. Selects "Look" + "dog" + "big!" Device speaks clearly. Parent hears, turns, engages: "Yes! That IS a big dog!" Child beams. Adds "funny" + "run." Conversation flows. Story shared. Connection made.
Emotion: Joy and connection. "I have a voice. People hear me. I can share my world."
Classroom Participation
Situation: Teacher asks question about story they just read.
Experience: Child raises hand. Gets called on. Uses device to select answer: "The boy was brave." Device speaks. Class hears response. Teacher affirms: "Yes! Great answer!" Child participates in discussion. Included in learning community.
Emotion: Inclusion and pride. "I can participate. I belong here. My ideas matter."
Making Friends
Situation: Peer approaches child on playground.
Experience: Child uses device: "Hi" + "want to play?" Peer responds: "Yeah! Let's play!" Child suggests game using device. Peer agrees. Play begins. Interaction happens naturally. Friendship becomes possible.
Emotion: Hope and belonging. "I can make friends. I can play. I'm included."
What to Expect (Realistic Timelines)
AAC success doesn't happen overnight, but with consistent use and support, meaningful outcomes emerge. Here's what research and clinical experience show families can realistically expect.
Child has voice output for communication
Timeframe: Immediate — As soon as device is programmed and available, child can generate spoken messages. The tool works from day one; mastery develops over time.
Participation in conversation increases
Timeframe: 2-4 weeks — As child becomes familiar with device navigation and experiences communication success, spontaneous communication attempts increase noticeably.
Language skills develop with AAC support
Timeframe: Ongoing — Vocabulary expands, sentence structure develops, and pragmatic communication skills improve continuously with consistent modeling and use.
Social participation improves
Timeframe: 2-3 months — As communication becomes more reliable, peers learn to interact, teachers learn to include, and social opportunities multiply.
Quality of life and autonomy increase
Timeframe: Ongoing — Long-term impact on self-determination, independence, education, relationships, and overall well-being is profound and lifelong.
Some children develop speech alongside AAC
Timeframe: Variable — Research shows AAC supports (not prevents) speech development. Some children develop verbal speech while using AAC; others use AAC long-term. Both outcomes are valuable.
Is This Right for My Child? (2-Minute Check)
Answer these questions honestly. If you respond "yes" to 3 or more, an AAC device or app is likely highly appropriate for your child. These indicators are based on clinical assessment criteria used by speech-language pathologists.
Is your child non-speaking or minimally speaking?
If yes, this indicates: AAC device/app appropriate
Non-speaking children or those with very limited verbal output are primary candidates for voice output AAC. If your child cannot reliably use speech to communicate basic needs, AAC provides immediate functional communication.
Has your child outgrown or needs more than low-tech AAC?
If yes, this indicates: High-tech AAC indicated
If your child has mastered PECS, communication boards, or other low-tech systems and needs more vocabulary, faster communication, or voice output to be heard across environments, high-tech AAC is the next step.
Would voice output help your child communicate?
If yes, this indicates: Speech-generating device will help
If your child is in inclusive settings where they need to be heard across a room, or if communication partners have difficulty seeing low-tech systems, voice output dramatically improves communication accessibility.
Can your child learn to use a tablet/device?
If yes, this indicates: Has motor/cognitive skills for AAC
If your child can touch or point to pictures/symbols on a screen, even with support, they have the foundational skills for AAC. Systems can be simplified to match current abilities and grow with the child.
3+ 'yes' answers = strong fit for AAC intervention. Even if you only answered yes to 1-2 questions, AAC may still be appropriate. Consult with a speech-language pathologist who specializes in AAC for personalized assessment and recommendations.
Usage Guide
When to Use | When NOT to Use | |

Supervision by Age
Stage | Supervision Level | Notes | |
Initial Learning | Adult models constantly | Child observes, explores, begins to understand device functionality | |
Developing Skills | Adult supports and prompts | Child uses with guidance, adult helps navigate, provides models | |
Independent Use | Adult responds to messages | Child uses independently, adult engages in conversation naturally |
Settings: ALL settings—home, school, therapy, community, everywhere the child goes
Duration: Lifelong tool for those who need it. AAC is not a "phase" or "stepping stone"—it's a legitimate, permanent communication system for many individuals.
Age Range: 18 months to adulthood. Never too young or too old to begin AAC. Even babies can use simple voice output devices with single messages.
Safety First
Critical Safety
- AAC device is child's VOICE - always available, never taken as punishment. Removing communication access is harmful.
- Model use constantly (aided language input). Children learn AAC by seeing others use it, just like spoken language.
- Don't require use before responding to need. Withholding responses until child uses device creates communication barriers, not communication growth.
- Train ALL communication partners. Family, teachers, therapists, peers—everyone needs to know how to support and respond to AAC use.
Warnings
- Protect device from damage (durable case essential). Tablets and devices are expensive; protective cases with handles prevent costly damage.
- Back up vocabulary regularly. Losing customized vocabulary is devastating. Back up weekly to cloud or computer.
- Don't let battery die (charging routine). Device with dead battery is useless. Establish consistent charging routine (e.g., every night).
- Screen time concerns don't apply - AAC is communication, not entertainment. Using AAC device is not "too much screen time." It's language use.
Contraindicated Practices
- Withholding device as behavior management
- Limiting access to certain times or places
- Using only in therapy sessions
- Taking away as punishment for any reason

Common Questions (Honest Answers)
Q: AAC will prevent my child from learning to speak
A: Research conclusively shows the OPPOSITE. AAC SUPPORTS speech development—it doesn't prevent it. Children often develop MORE speech with AAC because they learn communication has power. When a child experiences successful communication through AAC, they're motivated to communicate more in any way possible, including speech. AAC is a bridge, not a barrier.
Try this: View AAC as support FOR speech, not replacement OF speech. Continue speech therapy while using AAC. Many children develop verbal speech alongside AAC use.
Q: These devices are too expensive
A: Options exist at every price point. Free apps (LetMeTalk, Cboard) provide basic AAC at zero cost. Paid apps (₹5,000-25,000) like Avaz or Proloquo2Go offer comprehensive AAC on tablets you may already own. Dedicated devices (₹50,000-3,00,000) are most expensive but also most durable. Government schemes, NGOs, and crowdfunding can help with costs. Start with free options and upgrade as needed.
Try this: Start with free app on existing device. Assess whether AAC works for your child. If successful, explore funding sources for more comprehensive options.
Q: My child won't be able to learn to use it
A: AAC apps and devices are designed for accessibility at all levels. Start simple—even one button with one message is communication. Build from there with consistent modeling and availability. With proper support, most children can learn to use AAC at some level. Don't underestimate your child—give them the chance. Many parents are amazed at what their children can do when given the right tools.
Try this: Start simple with 5-10 core vocabulary words. Build complexity gradually as skills develop. Work with SLP for training and support.
Q: It's not 'real' communication
A: AAC IS real communication. A voice through a device is still a voice. The message matters, not the medium. Would you say Stephen Hawking wasn't "really" communicating? Every voice deserves respect, regardless of how it's produced. AAC users are communicating their authentic thoughts, needs, and feelings—that's as real as it gets.
Try this: Reframe your thinking. AAC is a valid, respected voice used by thousands of people worldwide. It's assistive technology, like glasses or hearing aids—tools that enable function.
