Talk To Me 100 is a powerful engaging tool for children who are learning to talk, or who have difficulty mastering verbal expression. An interactive teaching app, 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. Together, you and your child will have fun learning to talk. 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 learning - Errorless communication support - Core vocabulary of 100 words - Pinch and swipe gestures for board expansion - Immediate and consistent feedback - Designed for children with special needs ## Recent user reviews (7 of 7) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/talk-to-me-100/id457771908/reviews.md ### 5/5 — I love my pocket full of words! *2018-03-08* I can reinforce a target word or words throughout the day with my speech language students moving from one activity to another. They enjoy talking using this app and are speaking words more and more with their own voice. Very useful for a speech and language pathologist. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work! *2017-03-07* False advertising, doesn't work or do anything interactive. **Developer response:** Adjust your ringer or mute switch located above the volume toggle. ### 2/5 — Display issues *2016-06-13* Hi, this app would be perfect if the developer fix the display problems: there is a blue frame appear on the screen which is covering some words on it line, and the board can not show all the buttons on the IPad Air screen, event can not be moved further right to see all the 100 words. Should have the options for user to choose the size, the display styles ( vertical or horizontal) or the number of buttons displayed as desired, thanks for reading ### 3/5 — How to get it to work👍 *2015-04-22* I got it to work just by turning on the ringer and if you can't get the app to work try the ringer and see if that makes it work it did for me!😊 ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2012-12-05* I should have really listened to the advice of a few people who were very disappointed with this app. In a time where people are continuously struggling with bills, and yet trying to find the best learning tools for our children...this app was a rip off! Very disappointed in my wasted $6 when there were free apps which did a better job of what this company offered. All I was trying to do was give my son the resources to have his voice heard and instead I got an app that did nothing and will not reimburse me either. I hope this review will help someone who's about to make a purchase and will look into other apps on the market. For the person who says it worked...really? Hmmmm...anyway I called the number listed in the app...waiting for a return call... **Developer response:** Totally worth it! Thousands of people throughout the world have downloaded Talk To Me 100. They have discovered a place for children, parents, educators and therapists to begin verbal communication. For those late talkers these 100 words offer a comprehensive tool to jump start their language. Symbol words don't disappear, the child's voice provides reliable and consistent reinforcement for unlimited repetitions. This communication board is portable and easy to use with any activity throughout each day. This simple, yet powerful app, is brimming with ways to adapt the communication board for individual needs to measure and track progress.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Sydney ### 4/5 — Good Starter App *2012-10-27* I've used it for quite a while and it has always worked without a bit of problem. The clients get access to 100 core vocabulary words and it is an effective introductory language and AAC system. ### 1/5 — Sydspeak *2012-10-09* I purchased this app and it has NEVER worked! Called company and they never returned my call! Don't waste your money or time! ## Frequently asked questions about Talk To Me 100 ### What is Talk To Me 100?
