Children and adults who struggle to communicate are often frustrated and depressed. As parents and caregivers, we long to know what they have to say An iPad or tablet with a communication (AC) app can help them communicate Some children are nonverbal meaning they cannot use verbal speech to communicate with others. This can be caused by autism, cerebral palsy, Rett Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Apraxia, hearing loss and many other disorders. Adults often struggle with verbal speech after a stroke, ALS, Parkinson's and other diseases. Other children have some verbal speech but they are unable to functionally communicate. AC (augmentative and alternative communication) can help This book focuses on using technology such as iPads, iPhones and tablets for communication. Technology has improved so much and AC devices and apps are cheaper and more accessible than ever before. The book also describes apps that will strengthen your child or loved one's ability to access AC on a touchscreen but these skills aren't needed before they start communicating.
