Communication and Literacy Development Software

These Windows programs can be run on a Windows PC or any Windows-based Augmentative and Alternative Communication aid. The communication (AAC) software is used to provide voice output, either through recorded messages or by text-to-speech voice synthesizers. To choose what to say, the user can select symbols, pictures, letters, and words, and the software is set up ahead of time to speak out loud based on the input selection.

For those just starting out with eye gaze, head tracking, and even touch on a tablet PC, there are programs to help with the physical coordination needed for access. These can be games or activities that can be fun and functional at the same time.
