I am a software developer with an autistic son. Through therapy and assisted communication tools, his ability to communicate has improved considerably from when he was largely non-verbal.
However, it is often a struggle to pass back and forth his iPad to communicate via his AAC app. So I thought I would create a universal mobile app for me to also input his symbols. We use the Speak4Yourself app, but it is only available on iOS. I wanted to create a free, open source alternative that could be used on any mobile device.
The OpenAAC App can work with any AAC symbol set, but you need to generate and upload them manually. I welcome any assistance with this project and hope it is useful to others.
