Words on Wheels - An App for Special Needs Children with Autism, Down Syndrome and Other Speech Delays

Words on Wheels is a must have app for special needs children with autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, apraxia and other speech delays.

Here is what some of the parents and therapists think of our app:

"I really like the pictures and found them more colorful and inviting than all the other communication systems available." ~ Sharon

"This app also encourages children to begin to put words together in meaningful ways. To the very left of each row of buttons, there is an empty button. The child can select a button from within that row and it will appear there. So, the child can do this for every row and at the very bottom is a play button which when touched plays all the buttons in order. So, the child can learn to put thoughts and words together. For example, the word ‘dad’ at the very top can be chosen then ‘read’ from the second row and ‘book’ from the third. Dad read book. This would be absolute music to any parent or teacher’s ears. " ~ Tea

"I love the parent password protected editing mode, very nifty and necessary to prevent little fingers inadvertently deleting, I love that its so easy to add pictures and voice tags." ~ Elaine

Words on Wheels is an unique, fully customized tool to allow children suffering from autism or any other language deficit to easily and effectively communicate their basics needs and wants. It is a replacement of physical PECS and turns an iPad™ into an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device for your child.


The application’s main purpose is to let non-verbal children communicate what they want quickly and easily. However, it can also be used as part of a child’s ABA therapy to teach basic language skills.

Features:

• Simple and fun to use through the easy to use, colorful and intuitive user interface.

• Photo and Voice library containing 50 preloaded images representing most common words and 5 empty spaces for your own images. Additional image space can be purchased in packages of 5 ($0.99), 25 ($1.99) and 50 ($2.99) images. There is no limit to number of packages purchased.

• Full customization to your needs, create albums by taking pictures on the fly with camera and record audio in your own, native language.
