FlashWords AAC vs Zeitkompass

FlashWords AAC is an app for the Early Reading method which is successfully applied in the education of children with Down Syndrome or a delayed development that also affects speech development. FlashWords AAC is available in 2 versions: * FlashWords AAC Pro allows to learn an unlimited number of words. * FlashWords AAC allows only the first 6 words to be learned. An In-App purchase is required to learn an unlimited number of words. FlashWords AAC is based on the concept described in the series Small Steps, Early Reading. This Early Intervention Program was developed by the Special Education Center, at the Macquarie University in Sydney. Under their point of view reading is only a positive side effect. The app contains the basic exercise Learn Words for acquiring new words and five games for consolidating the words. Thousands of speech recordings are provided within the program, but you can also record your own words. The acquired words are collected in a list, which documents the progress made. In order to let multiple players use the app, FlashWords AAC offers a user manager. Individual word lists and settings can be saved and resumed quickly. Targets: • Speech and communication development • Reading training (whole words) Fields of operation: • Early Intervention • Children with delayed/hindered speech development (e.g. Down Syndrom) • Children and adults with learning disabilities • AAC Compatible switch adapters (without any claim to completeness): Blue2, APPlicator, Simply Works (Enter or Space)

With Zeitkompass, staying on top of daily life becomes easier and more visual. Now also featuring METACOM symbols! This app offers symbol-based weekly and daily planners. It is especially designed for people who struggle with time concepts, traditional calendars, or daily schedules. Using emojis, METACOM symbols, and photos, activities such as appointments, tasks, and events can be created and displayed in a simple way. The visual representation of the daily plan helps increase independence and provides a greater sense of security in everyday life — for example, for people with autism, ADHD, or learning difficulties. A special highlight is the integrated text-to-speech function, which allows all activities to be read aloud at a touch. This ensures an accessible and intuitive user experience, also suitable for people with special needs. In addition, the app reliably reminds users of upcoming tasks so that no important appointments are forgotten. SYMBOL-BASED DAILY & WEEKLY PLANNERS More time orientation in everyday life! By using emojis, METACOM symbols, and photos, planning and understanding daily schedules becomes easier and more visual. REMINDERS FOR UPCOMING ACTIVITIES Finally independent and on time! With our reminder function, you’ll reliably keep track of planned tasks. INDEPENDENT USE WITH TEXT-TO-SPEECH Especially easy and accessible! Receive all important information independently thanks to our built-in text-to-speech feature, which works similarly to talker apps.
