Sonoflex Lite This is a free version that allows you to use preset boards for various communicative

purposes. It is a direct selection system and has voice output. The Lite version only allows

so many uses and then becomes inoperable. The full version is around $99 but does allow

you to customize boards and add vocabulary.

Click N Talk This is a very user friendly app that allows you to use your own pictures to create

different communication stories and boards. You can record your own voice for words up to

sentences for each picture. Pictures are large and easily accessed by the child even with

fine motor difficulties.
