설명

simPODD is an app for the popular PODD system that makes communication more simple for those who can’t speak. Built in collaboration with Gayle Porter, it’s the only PODD app for iPad to bring digital page sets and a printing interface into one app. From the makers of Proloquo2Go, this augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app is sure to become a favorite among PODD users, because it's the only PODD app built specifically for their needs.

“simPODD’s integration of PODD communication books and electronic page sets in a single product supports people to "say what I want to say, to whoever, whenever and however I choose to say it.” - Gayle Porter, creator of the PODD system

Highlights
• Access to all PODD digital page sets: 15 Preschool, 15+ Preschool, 15 School, 15+ School, 60 Complex Syntax, 60 Expanded Key Word
• Fully integrated printing interface in the app to print direct access individual and group PODD books (with yearly subscription)
• Streamlined and simplified editing process
• Uses SymbolStix
• Regionally specific vocabulary and American, British and Australian voices
• 38 natural-sounding text-to-speech voices including genuine children’s voices
• Free 1-month trial

How it works
simPODD makes using PODD much simpler. First, it brings the digital page sets and printing experience into one app. No need to manage different payments and subscriptions, or learn how to use multiple programs. It’s all rolled into one. It’s easy to use, no matter who you are: parent, teacher, speech therapist or PODD user.

Customizing and editing digital page sets is also very straightforward with simPODD. Quickly edit the vocabulary, create new buttons and link folders without following a lot of complicated steps. Since we worked closely with PODD users while building the app, we took all of the hassle and frustration out of these processes.

The easiest PODD book printing experience
The printing function for PODD books is right inside the app. Just select a book and customize. Print the book all at once, instead of page by page. It only takes a few minutes!

You can create as many books as you need, and print them for all of the people in a PODD communicator’s life.

What is PODD?
PODD (Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display) is a popular AAC system created and owned by Gayle Porter. PODD organizes vocabulary around communication function and predicted likely usage to make it more efficient to get something across. PODD's range of books and page sets support language development from first words to complex syntax. The books and page sets for early communicators also include strategies like pragmatic branch starters. This supports more intelligible and varied communication.

I like it but it needs work

I work with students that have severe to profound communication deficits and PODD books are being used. This is easy to navigate and not as confusing as the books. Two things, (1) it would be great if this could be purchased for a set amount (like TD snap, TouchChat) and loaded onto an iPad to be used for children. (2) When going to categories > alphabet, you don’t have a ‘go to main page’ button. You’re stuck in alphabet. I had to close out the app and then reopen it. Again, I like it but there are things I’d change. In my job, PODD books aren’t favorites but this makes them easier. Overall, 4 stars

Hi mommaTommie. Thank you for your positive review and feedback. We are happy to hear simPODD is making PODD books easier for you and your students. We do understand your desire for a one-off purchase. Please know our aim is to balance the need for sustainable, continuous development and support with affordability. We also offer 5-year plans that are suitable for insurance. If you would like to discuss this further, please email us at support@assistiveware.com.

Autistic adult

I am an autistic woman who was originally nonverbal and forced to speak in different therapies. They would drill me to repeat different phrases but I felt like I was saying nothing because I was just repeating what other people wanted me to say. I use all of the different assistiveware apps in different communication situations. They listened to autistic people and converted our natural dialect and communications into apps that really work for us. For the first time since I was seven years old, I finally found my authentic autistic voice. I am myself again. Thank you autistic community and thank you assistiveware.
