PRODUCER/WEBSITE KEY BRIEF REVIEW InnerVoice: Sender Remote Prompting Tool www.innervoiceapp.com FREE

This is an interface that, together with the InnerVoice Communication app, lets you do Remote Prompting, a technique to support communication. Prompts can be sent via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth from the prompter’s device to the learner’s iPad to help them communicate. It is a free accessory that works only with InnerVoice2.0. The receiving device’s avatar will speak what you send. You can send any message using buttons, keyboard, or favorites (from the phrase bank) or from History. This is another exciting way to help users communicate!

Incredibly Affordable, Fun with Video Self Modeling and Remote Prompting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj5oNPjjDBg

TippyTalk is a subscription based app that lets the user select symbols that are then translated into personalized text messages. Pho- tos, symbols or images are selected to represent who the user wants to call and what the message contains. Voice recordings can also be attached to the symbols to help reinforce meaning for the user. From a picture/symbol menu, select a person to send the message to, then choose a category, and then an item. The message attached is sent as a text to the selected person. For example, select the picture of a person to send to, then the food category, then a pizza. The message “Hi Daddy, Can we have pizza tonight?” (or any other attached) will be sent. The user only needs internet access to send a message. (Only the receiver of the message needs a mobile device.) Video tutorials are available on the website, along with Frequently Asked Questions. A 14-day free trial is available so that you can try the app and see how it works for you and your family. This app provides a new and unique way to encourage and support communication. It was designed and developed by Rob Laffan, Automation Engineer and Autism Dad.
