SpeechTree App - A Complete AAC Communication System

SpeechTree App - A Complete AAC Communication System | Leveling the playing field with apps | Scoop.it
From www.theimum.com - July 10, 2012 4:04 PM

SpeechTree is an iPad only app from IAC Professionals, it was created by Angela Desideri - a certified Speech Language Pathologist and AAC specialist. An interview with Angela can be located at the end of the review.

 

"SpeechTree is the first & only AAC app that combines a Complete AAC Communication System with an Interactive Learning Program. The combination benefits both beginning and emerging communicators who require a lot of practice, encouragement, instruction, and support to develop their communication skills properly. I rarely get the chance to use an expensive app and believe the cost is warranted, but SpeechTree has proved it’s worth.

 

For someone who needs start-to-finish help learning and implementing AAC, SpeechTree is very highly recommended."
