iCommunicate

Visual scheduling app for iPad and iPhone

My son says "I love you!"

"This application has been absolutely a Godsend to our silent little world. My three year old son is nonverbal autistic and for ages would not even attempt to utter a word to me or my husband. We had no idea if he was understanding us, what he wanted or needed and this led to so many frustrating days and nights. The love of our lives standing there, and no way to tell if he comprehended simple words or phrases such as I love you! The very first iPad application we downloaded was iCommunicate. I went in and recorded all of the pictures that I thought we would be using and made several story boards. My son loved it! He figured out very quickly how to navigate the program and pictures. He absolutely loves the scheduling and knowing what comes next in an activity or his day. His favorite picture became asking for a kiss and saying "I love you." One of the most amazing aspects of this application is the fact that he has started echoing the pictures and words he hears from the app. It helps that its our voices and he wants to mimic it. Soon after purchasing this app he was able to come me, show me a snack or show me what he wants for dinner. And now? He says "I love you" on his own and I completely believe it's because of iCommunicate and being able to connect the picture with the words, use it to respond to me when I say it to him and finally be able to do it on his own. I believe ANY child that is non-verbal, autistic, apraxic or any other disability that causes a child to not be able to communicate with parents should have this program. It is a must! Thank you so much for creating this and for making my home a little more noisy. I love it!"
