The more sophisticated option changes certain words on the screen when one button is pushed, allowing the device to predict what you may be trying to say. I personally use the 42 Position option the most often and I love that there is a basic version and a more sophisticated version of the same 42-button layout. These boards range from 20 buttons per page up through 80 buttons per page, allowing the child to have access to as many buttons as his motor skills will allow. The “Word Power” boards are much more sophisticated and allow for more language development and growth. Saltillo used research conducted in adolescent homes about the types of vocabulary that these children want to use. There are even specific boards for adolescents that has bigger buttons for those who aren’t ready for the more sophisticated boards, but who need more sophisticated language than a preschooler would need. You can start with very simple boards that were designed for young children with developmental delays or move up to a more sophisticated device. When you open the app, you have the option to choose from many different pre-programmed boards that are specifically designed for different populations. I recommend purchasing the “Touch Chat with Word Power” option, which is more expensive but gives you access to the word power boards which will allow for much more language use and development in your child.

Why is that a good thing? Well, you know that they’ve spent tons of time and money on research and development of their software and if you try the app and find you like it, you can easily transition to a dedicated device that will last you longer and is often covered by insurance companies. That means, this same software comes installed on their durable devices that are designed to be used specifically as an AAC device and nothing else. This app was created by Saltillo which is a company that makes dedicated AAC devices as well as communication apps.
