AAC App Giveaway - Predictable

By Shane Nurnberg on Mar 1, 2011 | In Announcements | 7 feedbacks »

Courtesy of Therapy Box, the developers, I have a copy of a great AAC app called Predictable to giveaway. I recently reviewed the app here, so check it out and decide if it looks like an appropriate app for your child.

Predictable is being sold in the app store for $150. I'd like to get it into the hands of a parent who has a non-verbal child. And, obviously, you'd need to own an iPhone or an iPad.

Want the app? Comment on this blog post and tell me why. It's that simple. Then, 'like' Autism Epicenter's Facebook page. On Friday March 4 I'll announce the winner on our Facebook page. I will select the winner based on whoever I think can best use the app. My goal is to get it to a child who can and will use it!

My seven year old non verbal son with autism is learning how to identify letters and be able to form words. This looks like a great app for helping with a letterbard etc. Really woud love the opportunity for him to be able to try this great app out!

While it's nice to provide this app - I work with many families who are Title I and ESL. They don't have the funds for a luxury item such as an iPad. It would be nice if the iPad was included in the offer. I know of many families who would love this, but can't afford the devise to take advantage of the free app.

I have an 11 year old daugther who is completely non-verbal. We already purchased an iPad for her one the first day it came out. I have been looking for good Apps to teach language skills but most of them, like Predictable are expensive. I would like my daughter Abbigail to be considered for this App. Thank you in advance.

This looks like a great app for me when I'm working with children with autism that are non-verbal. Some of the children that I work with would benefit highly from this app. Or even as a visual schedule that can be quickly changed to support the child.
