Do not misunderstand the title of this post The potential that is eluded to is the potential my daughter has to speak through this app The layout of the screen is easy to understand for my 3 year old She is enjoying the lite version immensely More importantly she seems to understand that this game on her iPad will talk when she herself is verbally unable                     Wonderful potential Jessie_Rae87

My daughter has been using the App Speak for yourself for five months She had a Dynavox for about 10 years over time she used that system less and less Therapists thought it was because she had nothing to say but the reality was she outgrew the Dynavox Within a week of using SFY Jessie was able to find words to ask for what she wanted and put a sentence together commenting on a movie we were watching Within six weeks she said I love you Mom When she came home with an award from work her father said is that for doing good work and her response was no exceptional She went from an isolated 21 year old to someone who has a lot to say This is the most fluid well thought out system that you can find It was developed by speech therapists who did their homework and I believe it was clinically tested as well to create something that is out of the box awesome Specifically what I like is the fact that as the child learns language you add more It really does grow with them We could pre program sentences but then Jess would be saying what we think she wants to say It s so much more interesting for her and for us to see what SHE wants to say Finally no one believed that she would be able to use this because her fine motor skills are poor however no one can evaluate what someone s desire to communicate is Speak for Yourself has changed the our world Awesome                     Finally a fluid language system that a child can grow with Jessie'sMom

I am a SLP who has a student who was recommended this app for communication He quickly adapted to its layout and structure The babble feature allowed for language expansion opportunities as he was ready for them It s ease of use was conducive to this therapist his family and the student The newer updates include a useful word finder I would highly recommend for both pediatric and adult populations                     Great AAC app using the philosophy of language acquisition through motor planning ChloeDeAlmeida
