THE APP WITH NO WORDS THAT SPEAKS TO AUTISTIC CHILDREN

THE APP: Avaz
WHO IT HELPS: Children with autism spectrum disorders, Downs syndrome, Angelman’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other speech disabilities.
WHAT IT DOES: This Australian app enables children with autism and other disorders to “speak” using pictures – in a variety of situations. For example, the app can be used in speech therapy sessions, on a day-to-day basis to develop language, and to stimulate and improve the intent to communicate. The app uses picture symbols and high-quality voice synthesis to help non-verbal users create messages and improve language skills. The cherry on top is a powerful keyboard that helps users transitioning to text – growing with the child as he or she develops.
