Expressive - Adds to AAC options

‘Expressive’ offers an appealing, simple speech output AAC option for people who cannot rely on speech alone to get their message across. The real beauty of Expressive is in the intention of the developer, Smarty Ears, to improve communication in children with little or no speech. Family members and key communication partners sharing tips and strategies on good use of the app will help more people to make the most of its features. I would like to hear how Expressive has been used in a range of settings by family, friends, peers, and people in the community to communicate with children. I look forward to future research examining how use of Expressive has helped children to participate in social situations and convey information beyond their basic needs. Expressive makes a useful addition to resources for teaching student clinicians about feature matching AAC options to individual needs. I would like to thank and acknowledge Smarty Ears for their unconditional donation of Expressive to the author for teaching and research purposes.
