CommBoards is a user-friendly application designed to assist individuals of all ages who have difficulty speaking by helping them find their voice. It offers an accessible way for users to communicate more effectively through an intuitive AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) platform. Whether the user is a child or an adult, the app provides tools to facilitate clearer communication in everyday situations.
The app is especially beneficial for people with conditions such as Autism, Aphasia, Apraxia, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Motor Neuron Disease, Cerebral Palsy, and Down Syndrome. These groups often face challenges in verbal communication, and CommBoards aims to bridge this gap by offering a simple, yet effective, communication solution tailored to their needs. The app ensures that users can express their thoughts, needs, and feelings with greater ease.
One of the key features of CommBoards is its high degree of personalization. Users can create unlimited custom categories and add relevant pictures to enhance understanding. They can record their own voice messages, making the communication more natural and familiar. Additionally, the app provides high-quality text-to-speech capabilities, giving users multiple options to convey messages effectively according to their preferences.
The application is designed to be ready for immediate use, with pre-programmed categories tailored specifically for children with Autism, among other groups. It is therapist-approved, meaning speech therapists regularly utilize CommBoards to support their patients' communication development. The app works offline, requiring no internet connection, which makes it suitable for use in various environments such as schools, hospitals, or during travel by plane, ensuring continuous support wherever needed.
