Words, not symbols
Plain text tiles, grouped by a consistent color code. The tile says what it says.
A free AAC app · In development
Communication starts
with a word.
Model Communicator is an AAC app built around plain, readable words. It's in development now, and it will be free.
The idea behind it.
Model Communicator is being built around modeling — using AAC out loud, alongside the person learning it. A few things we're designing toward:
Consistent layout
Words keep their place as vocabulary grows, so a learned path stays a learned path.
Free
The app will be free to download and use.
