Communication and Literacy Development Software

These are Windows-based software programs which can be loaded to Windows computers or PC-based augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. Some are used for literacy development while transitioning from pictures and symbol representations to letters and words, or for clients who are not able to use letters and words for communications. Most of these programs provide voice output, whether or not the user spells with letters and words or selects from symbols and pictures for input.
