User reviews

poor stability and customer service support

After several days of work put into scene construction and verbal data the app crashed. Several emails sent to app company techs by our speech therapist all to no avail. The system still does not open and I have not been refunded a penny! Do not waste your time or money on this app.

Easy AAC for Early Learners

Students with autism frequently have difficulties in the area of communication. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools can be used to support communication and improve language acquisition. Scene and Heard uses pictures (scenes) and "hot spots" with recorded audio to facilitate communication. Setting up communication "scenes" on this app is as simple as taking a photo with the built-in camera and selecting "hot spots" to record audio.

There is plenty of research documenting the effectiveness of using pictures or scenes for AAC. Research shows that this format is especially effective for early learners. At $49.99, Scene and Heard is more expensive than similar applications on the market. It is worth exploring the Lite version first to see if the application is appropriate for your use.
