Talk To Me 100 (free version) is a powerful, engaging tool for children who are learning to talk, or who have difficulty mastering verbal expression. An interactive teaching device, Talk To Me 100 allows the child - by pressing buttons - to see words, hear words, understand their meaning and experience the joy of communication. Using the pinch and swipe gestures, the board can be expanded and moved on the ipad as needed. This Free Version offers 9 of the most frequently used symbols and sounds. The full version is priced at $5.99 and offers 100 symbols and corresponding sounds. The Talk To Me 100 iPad App was developed by a Speech and Language Pathologist as a way to facilitate errorless communication (in which the learner never fails, but is supported in all communication attempts) to teach beginning language skills. This new voice output app helps parents, teachers and therapists jumpstart verbal expression for children who are struggling to communicate. Talk To Me 100 allows the learner to control their environment, and to signal the point of readiness to communicate. Talk To Me 100 also provides immediate and consistent feedback, allows for practice and repetition of 100 frequently used words throughout daily activities, provides fun and enjoyment and lets the learner become accustomed to touch screen use. Talk To Me 100 is designed to provide communication partners with 100 words organized in a predictable format to use in an unlimited choice of daily activities. Sydspeak created this app for children with autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, speech and language disorders and other special needs. Talk To Me 100 provides communication partners with a core vocabulary to begin verbal expression for all functions of language: imitate, comment, answer, question, describe, retell, accept, reject, repeat, command, request, explain, persuade, maintain social relationship and influence. The adult communication partner models one or more words by selecting the buttons and using their natural voice to speak the same words whether you are getting ready for school, eating dinner, reading or playing outside; opportunities for verbal interaction are unlimited. Talk To Me 100 provides a beginning augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) solution for people who have difficulty speaking. Once the learner begins to combine 2-3 words spontaneously to communicate a new or novel thought, they are well on their way to using more than 100 words, either using natural voice or using a more expanded and dynamic AAC device. This iPad app is a digital replica and companion to the original “child friendly” Talk To Me 100® available at www.sydspeak.com. Priced at $59, this tablet is similar in size and comes in a durable plastic case with 3AAA batteries. Research shows that when each communication partner uses their own personal voice output device, language acquisition is more efficient. For some children, a predictable pattern of images on a computer screen using the same child’s voice has more impact than pictures on paper with changing adult verbal interactions. For the first time, we now have a powerful communication system where both partners can have their own affordable and effective language device with the same voice and symbols. The free version offers a sample of beginning language learning. I recently evaluated a 3 year old child who was nonverbal. His parents said he only spoke 2 words: “mama” and “bye”. When presented with the Talk To Me 100®, he began exploring the board, pressing the symbols and listening to the words. I began using my version on the iPad, and he immediately began imitating my words by pressing the symbols on his device. What sometimes takes months of therapy to achieve, he was imitating words within a few minutes!!! ## Key features - Interactive word and sound display - Pinch and swipe gestures for board expansion - Errorless communication learning - Facilitates verbal expression - Core vocabulary for language functions - Models words for communication partners ## Recent user reviews (6 of 6) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/talk-to-me-100-lite/id457868952/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-03-08* This app has really assisted my son who has autism. His first words were spoken through the use of this app. I recommend! Planning on purchasing full version. ### 3/5 — Just ok... *2018-02-07* While the concept is good the full version is difficult to manage. There are too many icons on the screen with no way to move, hide, or delete them. It is very complicated to use for a nonverbal student with minimal reading skills. ### 1/5 — 😫😫😑💩💩💩💀 *2014-12-31* Just 9 things!
